PRACTICAL HELP

While you self-isolate it can be difficult to provide for yourself practically. You might be struggling to shop for essential groceries or picking up prescriptions. We are here to help. We have a team of staff and volunteers willing to help you. Let us know how to contact you and what it is you need. We have people willing to help throughout the week.

PHONE CALLS

We believe in the power of connection and are are aware that many would value regular phone calls to enable this to happen. Let us know if you’d value a call as we have a team of volunteers who are waiting ready to begin calling those that respond.

PRAYER

As faith based charities we believe in the power of prayer. Not only do we believe God hears our prayers and wants what is best for us but also that being prayed for can make us feel noticed and cared for. If you would want someone to pray for you or your loved ones then get in touch. We can do this over the phone via an individual calling you or being added as a prayer point for a team of dedicated prayer volunteers.

SIGNPOSTING

There are loads of amazing schemes out there to help people during this crisis. We are trying to keep a track of them all and are wiling to find our information for you if you don’t know where to look. Everything from priority delivery slots at supermarkets for the high risk groups (elderly, underlying medical conditions etc), council support, debt help just to name a few. Please get in touch and we will explore if we can help point you in the right direction.

CONNECTING WITH OTHERS

Many at this time are wanting to find out about the christian faith, reconnect to a faith once held, or simply explore what it means to belong as part of a christian community. We are here to help you navigate that and explore this.

Do get in touch as we’d be happy to help in a number of ways:

Connect groups

We have a variety of groups of people wanting to connect each week via whatsapp groups or video chats. Key purpose of these groups is to be known, offer support to one another and pray together. Let us know if you want to be added to a group.

KCC YouTube channel

We have also setup a youtube channel as a way of communicating key messages from the church leaders. We are uploading videos a couple of times a week as well as sharing other material that we feel is useful for people during this time. You can find us on YouTube here :

If you want to help in our volunteer efforts then please do let us know as we’d love you to join our growing team.
