50 Plus
We have a special emphasis on reaching very elderly housebound or potentially lonely older people with the love of Jesus. We have a team of volunteers who give their time to reach out to older people showing God’s love through what we say and what we do.
We are developing our strategy to engage with the younger old, or ‘Saga’ generation with the love of Christ, addressing issues such as caring for several generations, retirement preparation, SKI-ing (spending the kids’ inheritance).
