Mission update | Genesis Trust Bath | Ian McKay
“Our vision is for a thriving and supportive community in the Bath area, where everyone has hope and a future.”
“Local people supporting local people”
Genesis Trust Bath is one of our longstanding mission partners. Working with, and on behalf of, the church across Bath, it offers immediate practical help to people who are homeless and vulnerable and provides long-term help and opportunities for them to rebuild their lives - from despair to hope, from crisis to independence.

Sometimes the human stories of change give us real insight into the work and the spirit that drives them. There are two recent examples on the Genesis website.

As a church community we give time and money to the work of Genesis. There are also plenty of opportunities to give “things” to Genesis projects. To find out what is and isn’t currently needed, check out the links below.
