This can be required for a rdnge of social issues. We operate a finitUre store which accepts second hand finItUre and can redkstribute this to people in nee Som¢ of our volullteers aT¢ retired trad¢smen which gives us the facility to do minor Tepairs ill home. We also support fInanciakty, PrayerllY and practfically oth¢r CbTistian charities in NI and missionaries in Finland and Thailand alld Keny& The Public benefkL for spiritual and practicaL is difficult to demonstrate as it would depend on the personal testimony of those who are helped. More often than not the situations we deal with are extremely sensitive and private and whilst records are kept of who, how and when, it would not be appropriate to share those things pub]icly. However, in general ternis in 2022, a f¢w practical illustrations would include giving temporary accommodation to a person whose home life had become unbearable. We continue to visit the elderly and housebound and meet what practical needs we whether it be transport or somethincr minor repaired or a tidy up around the yard and garde Just as with the spirRtual sxde of th¢ Haven's work, oux pwpose includes sharing God's love by practÉcal means wAth those who are in need.
