In the community

As you go, proclaim the good news, “The kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. - Matthew 10.8

Christians are called to follow the example of Jesus who talked with, touched, healed and cared for the needy. It's very easy to put money in a tin; we are called to take an interest in the work of charities and to support them in other ways. Each parish has identified a charity for which we can help raise awareness (this may or may not include fundraising). The charities 'adopted' so far are delighted to have their profile raised in this way:

• Instow support NDADA (North Devon Against Domestic Abuse)

• Fremington support Crosslinks

• Westleigh support Harbour, a Charity for the homeless and disadvantaged of Bideford and area. Read more here.

FRINT (Fremington Relief In Need Trust)

In 1889 a charity was created for the relief of those in need in the parish. This now operates as FRINT and annually gives a number of grants to local causes and individuals.  More details can be found on the Charities Commission website. Documents relating to front can be found below:
