Caring for our church family
The Maggie O'Neill Centre began as a church. The new church is still on the site. Someone in our church family might be unwell, going through a hard time or have a new baby. When that happens, we're there for them. When our volunteers have time, we bring meals, hospital visits and moral support to others in the community too. Everyone who helps is a volunteer, so we look after their time carefully.
Meals when life is hard
Home-cooked meals for people who are unwell or have just had a baby. Also for people going through a hard time mentally, emotionally or with money.
Hospital visits
We visit people in hospital, so nobody goes through it alone.
Moral support
Someone to listen and stand by you when life gets hard.
What is All Nations?
All Nations is an event held once a year, in the summer. People from 20 to 30 different nationalities fill the whole building. They cook food from their country and wear traditional dress.
It's a wonderful time. We celebrate every culture and nation on earth. And we find out how much we all share as people.
