‘PRAY, GIVE, GROW’ THROUGH SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION IN YORK
As Belfrey Social Transformation, we believe in the power of the gospel of Jesus to transform lives. We want to show God’s love in practical ways to the people of York, and to be a blessing to the city.
We take part in our church’s mission of ‘Pray, Give, Grow’ by praying for transformation in the lives of those we work with; by giving generously of our time and resources and sharing what God has blessed us with; and by growing our vision and impact for the city.
We run a number of projects that work within our 3 pillars of Poverty, Mental Health, and Young People and Families. Click on the logos below to learn more about each project and how you can get involved.
We run a Debt Centre in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP), to support people who are struggling with problem debt.
We partner with York Foodbank to offer a Foodbank Distribution Point on Saturday mornings at the De Grey Rooms.
Affordable, professional counselling is available to anyone aged 18+ in York through our Wellspring Counselling Centre.
We work with local schools to match volunteers with families in the community, to provide support and friendship.
Our Love Your Neighbour initiative encourages us to practically care for our neighbours and communities in York through giving and volunteering.
The Belfrey is part of the Welcome Churches network for refugees and asylum seekers.
We are delighted to be working with the One Voice York church unity group, to look at how churches and ministries can work more closely together in social transformation to make a difference in the city.
