Mission Partner: Besom ‘Unlocking God’s purpose in you, through meeting the needs of others’

Besom is a Christian charity whose purpose is to connect Christians who wish to give and serve with local people who are in need in the Ashtead, Leatherhead and Epsom area.

We serve the local community by receiving donations of good quality household items which we use to help those with limited resources to furnish their homes. We take referrals from social workers, housing officers and other support workers and organisations such as the Food Bank. We have helped around 300 households in the last 12 months.

It is such a privilege to be able to help people at the point of need and to talk and sometimes pray with them. When we recently gave a lady with a sofa and a new cooker, she cried as she was overwhelmed that others would be prepared to help her. Last Christmas, we distributed 76 hampers which really touched the hearts of the recipients because the hampers were prepared especially for them.

The Besom volunteers really enjoy working together as a team and enjoying fellowship as we serve others in the community together. Sharing lunch together on Tuesdays is a highlight of the Besom week!

Thank you SGSG for all your prayer, practical and financial support in the work that we do.
