Para 1.20 |
The charity was established on 20th December 2019, which was shortly before the widespread coronavirus pandemic, which created disruption like many other organisations. Despite the pandemic, the charity shaped itself and positioned itself to work well remotely between March and July 2020 operating online, which allowed online participation and engagement. Launched officially in August 2020 at Broad Street in Dagenham, The Apostolic Movement Church has worked with local councils, the local communities, local youth club as well as the autism community supplying them with food and care from volunteers. Relocated to Vincent Street, Canning Town in December 2021, where we have continued to reach out to the Newham community through distribution of donations. established a collaboration with Morriosons through their community champion and connect with the locals by hosting community friendly events. Donations have gone out to the homeless, shelters/care homes and families. For example, on Christmas Eve, we sang carols, gave out hot drinks and donations to the locals - to encourage our presence. Early July we established the YEES Market Shop on Rathbone Market - held every Tuesday morning. This entails receiving donations from our members and selling items to pour back into the project. The charity is providing a benefit to the youngsters of the community by partnering with organisations such as YouthZone. It provides help in furthering their education for School drop-outs and those in need of further educational support. On a daily basis, we collect donations of clothes, a variety of food and items for personal care and bodily use for not only those that are homeless, but those that have a place to sleep at night but still suffering in their current states. |
We use all our resources and contacts such as various councils, library resources centres, Streetlink, social workers, health care practitioners, care homes and hostels etc to ensure that in good time people are housed. For example one of few people we have ensured their safety and their home: Michael Beale. In Dageham, we found him homeless and begging in the street and from there he was willing to come into Church, show his heart that he wanted help and found out how unfortunate his life had been, the abuse and neglect that he endured and the dementia that he was led to having. We eventually got into contact with the council, his social workers and brought his case back to life which prompted his care workers to look after him and give him what he is entitled to. Every day we would feed him, clothe him and ensure he is kept warm. We are looking to run workshops starting in just over a week for mother and baby sessions whereby women and their young children can come into a place where they feel safe and engage themselves, engaging their children also. An opportunity for them to rest in their busy schedules. Above all we hold outreach occasions every major holiday. We are currently focusing on Christmas and Easter whereby the impact that we have had on the community has been more than what we thought it would be. The aim of this is to give necessities to homes, youth, children, women, shelter etc and even the elderly and those with disability to show them that they have a community that would go the extra mile for them whenever necessary. We never knew that we would cause such an impact that other charities similar want to work with us and we hope to beach out further from here.
