What does it mean to volunteer?

We believe that when you serve and give up your time and energy for someone else you are emotionally and spiritually recharged. This week we share stories from 2 Empowerment Workers of how churches are volunteering and giving through COVID-19.

We are passionate about releasing investment to house the homeless. Investing in a home with us means that you can share your capital whilst enabling people to get back on their feet.
