We are a small Christian charity based in Coventry that aims to support people at their various points of crisis; this could be economic, emotional, social, educational or spiritual. Support is offered through a number of projects, groups and activities.

We have a small number of paid employees but are reliant on a large number of volunteers to run our projects.   Our aim is to serve the needs of the local community – sharing God’s love while supporting those most in need.

Please click on one of the four pictures below to find out more about our projects.  Or use the menu (top right) for other information.

Our registered charity number is 1090102.  We are also a registered company, limited by guarantee (no. 4121649) and are managed by a board of voluntary trustees.

Are you worried about buying Christmas presents this year?

GOOD NEWS – The Giving Tree project is running this year and might be able to help!  We can provide presents for any Coventry children (under 18) living at your address, IF you meet the criteria below: 

 In order to be eligible to receive presents you must be able to meet ALL 4 of the below criteria:

• Be unable to buy Christmas gifts for your children yourself.
• Be in receipt of child benefit or the child element of UC.
• Be in receipt of housing benefit or the housing element of UC.
• Not be receiving more than the capped benefit limit (£423.46/week, £1835/month, £22,020/year)

 If you are eligible you will need to complete the online form AND then reply to our email with screenshots or photos of bank statements and letters as your proof – you WILL NOT be registered if you don’t respond to all the emails you are sent. 

 Please be aware we may need to ask a professional you are working with to confirm that you are in need.

Once your application has been approved you will be asked to choose one of the following locations to collect your gifts from:

St John the Divine Church, Robin Hood Road, Willenhall, CV3 3AY

St Oswalds Church, Jardine Crescent, Tile Hill, CV4 9PL

Allesley Park Evangelical Church, 13 Whitaker Road, CV5 9JE

You will be given an appointment to come and collect your gifts on a specific date between Tuesday 15^th Dec and Monday 21^st Dec (depending on your choice of location).

YOU MUST REGISTER before Friday 27^th Nov, otherwise you will be added to a reserve list and might not be able to receive gifts even if you are eligible.

Please make sure you enter the child’s date of birth including the year correctly – as this caused some problems last year.  Please note we are only able to offer gifts to children under 18. 

Application Link will go live here on Monday 2nd Nov 2026
