Building a diverse church serving the communities of London VISIT CONNECT EXPLORE CARE LEARN GIVE THE JERICHO ROAD PROJECT The Jericho Road Project (JRP) exists to alleviate poverty in South East London. Started in 2001 it aims to support those who live on the streets, helping them to become functioning members of society who make their own contributions to their community. This ministry is rooted in the declarations of Isaiah 61 and God's love for each person. We work with people as they are – homeless, evicted, addicted, lacking hope – and help them make good choices that enables them to progress in life. We help people with their benefits, housing and addiction advice as well as giving support to attend appointments. We also aim to have fun along the way, and every year organise events including going on a five-day break. LOW SUPPORT HOUSING We currently provide accommodation and low-level support for twenty-eight people within six different properties. Our aim is to help people move into their own accommodation within two years. More about our supported housing THE FEAST DELIVERY SERVICE Across the lockdown periods of 2020 and 2021, The Feast in person meeting was forced into closure. In its place we ran a hot food delivery service, delivering around 300 meals a week and sending out a total of 20,000 meals from March 2020 – August 2021. With restrictions lifting we have now opened our doors again to our regular Wednesday night drop-in service. More about The Feast THE CAP MONEY COURSE We run regular courses that teach people budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based system to get more in control of their finances, including bespoke courses for JRP clients.

BIG RED BOX Across the pandemic we were able to secure funding, through our partnership with Love Your Neighbour, enabling us to deliver over 3,600 non-perishable food hampers across the year to those in our community who were deeply affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite this funding finishing in August 2021, we are looking into how we can continue this support to those in our community for who the effects of COVID 19 are ongoing. KING’S CHRISTMAS TREES Unfortunately, after 11 incredible years, the King’s Christmas Trees was closed into 2020 due to the complications of changing COVID19 restrictions. At this time, there are no plans to run the project moving forward. We know for many, buying a King’s Christmas Tree was more than just a Christmas tradition, it was about contributing to the funding of The Feast, to find out more about donating to The Feast, please contact Alice for more details.
