Azalea means beautiful and dignified in ancient Greek and its mission is to empower and facilitate sustainable transformation in the lives of the men, women and neighbourhoods impacted by sex trafficking through several different projects. Sex trafficking is when an individual is coerced, forced, or manipulated into providing sexual access or services to a ‘punter’ often through threats of, or acts of, violence from a perpetrator. So what work does Azalea do?
Welcome! We are one parish with three distinct worshipping communities. Though frequently working together, each has its distinctive character and serves a particular area of the parish, but you are welcome to worship wherever you feel most at home. We are a parish big enough to count, with churches small enough to care. If you can’t find what you want, even via the search page or our blog (magazine), please contact us.
Thank you to everyone who gave donations to BHA at our recent weekend collections . We had a fantastic response this time, from many members and organisations within our Town, and we collected more items than we could be load into one van; hence a return collection is being organised to fetch the additional items.
There will be a collection on: Saturday 25th February from 10 am to 3 pm In the Cunningham Room in St Nicholas Church Halls Our gifts will be collected by BHA on Sunday 26TH February For further information please contact: Anne Harper or Margaret Hewitt via the office.
