FURZEDOWN
mission
Embracing our call to love people, we are involved in a number of different projects, and support missionaries around the world.
FURZEDOWN
We love Furzedown and are passionate about Christian unity. As such, we work alongside St James', St Paul's and St Alban's as 'Furzedown Churches'. We work together across the year, collaborating in events at Christmas and Easter as well as for activities such as the children's and older people's holiday clubs.
​
Furzedown Youth Centre (FYC) is overseen by Outreach Youth Worker Paul Rook, and serves young people from our neighbourhood with a range of activities and projects. Many of the activities vary with the seasons, so for up to date information please contact Paul via furzedownyc@gmail.com or head to furzedownyouthcentre.org.uk
FOODBANK
Partnering with Wandsworth Foodbank, we have a Welcome Centre at MLBC on Thursday mornings. Pre- booked guests come to the centre for advice, support and basic food provisions. For more information speak to Gemma or visit wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk

We also support the work of Spires, a local charity that supports those facing homelessness or disadvantage all year round. Head to spires.org.uk for more information.
