We are a local Christian charity that works alongside people when life is hard, practically building hope and resilience to deal with times ahead.
We run practical projects around food, finance, homelessness, and lone parenting across Dorset. And we seek to do these in venues where there is a range of help immediately on hand, where we can Listen to your story, Give Hope immediately, Act on what you say, and Inspire to see a way forward. We love it when people stand up and say “I can do this now!”
Help and support across Dorset
Faithworks support Foodbanks across Dorset. The café-styled centres provide a whole range of support in addition to emergency food, these are called Lifecentres. This may include debt advice, budget support and links to other agencies, cooking on a budget and other courses, as well as a chance to connect in a safe space.
CMA Debt Advice & Budget Support
Faithworks CMA (Community Money Advice) team are based onsite at our Foodbanks to provide free debt advice and budget support.
The team are affiliated to the national Community Money Advice network and authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority so you know you are in good hands.
We believe everyone should have a safe space that they can call home. Our homelessness project combines advice, support, training opportunities and safe spaces to walk alongside those coming out of homelessness as they journey towards finding their own home and creating a new future.
