Noel's Story
Noel came out of prison in July 2001. Whilst in prison he attended 3 sessions of the Alpha course. In that time became a Christian and was baptized. He was looking for a church 'with the holy spirit' to be connected to. Noel started coming to King's in October and has become a member. Noel has helped out by distributing feast flyers and in the process linking the most needy to the Feast and King's Church. He has been helping at the Feast since it started.
One of new our 5 year goals is:
To see our low support housing project increase from 14 to 26 places
In September 2004 we established a low-level support housing unit for 4 men. In September 2005 we opened our second house, this time providing care for 5 men. We opened a third house, for 5 women, in September 2006. Each person has keyworker support that helps them move towards employment.
A copy of the criteria for acceptance and further information can be made be obtained from Simon Allen.
