We are at the end of Twerton High Street just past the glorious Full Moon Pub. Can’t miss the building really… The number 5 Bus stops just on the corner. As has been said repeatedly before, the church is not the building but the people – so in actual fact you can ‘find us’ all over the place in Twerton We believe God wants church to operate as family and he invites His family on His mission to share the news with everyone in Twerton that Jesus changes lives. We encourage everyone to join a smaller ‘family on mission’ that we call missional communities. These communities each have a different focus to reach a specific pocket of people. We currently have the following Missional Communities: Roots (exploring the roots of Christianity) Twerton Central (loving local Twerton residents) Families (modelling kingdom family across the generations) Missional Communities meet on 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month at various times & locations. Contact us if you’d like to join a community. In addition to our services and other community activities, we run two major programmes in Twerton to assist the needy in the area: The Rose Cottage Community Hub and the Lighthouse Project. Rose Cottage Hub Situated on the High Street, right in the heart of Twerton, Bath, Rose Cottage Community Hub was built in the 1830s as a gift to St Michael’s Church. Since then it has served as a residence for churchwardens, parish officers and curates. In the 1990s, the ground floor of Rose Cottage was converted into a Community Centre and the Centre dramatically expanded its work in the community. Today, Rose Cottage Community Hub is an organisation which intentionally seeks to be an agent of change and facilitator of community cohesion. Rose Cottage Community Hub offers services and opportunities which support the development and quality of life of people living in Twerton and surrounding areas. We do this by operating a community cafe and garden; running family-specific events to encourage healthy family life; making rooms available for hire; acting as a signpost to other service providers; providing opportunities for people to volunteer and by operating a Foodbank distribution centre. Lighthouse Lighthouse is a drop in centre helping light the way ahead with free hot food & drink, food parcels, and by connecting you to other local agencies to help you with what you need. We can provide: Hot food and drink Food parcels Access to the local agencies and support Free internet Free use of a printer Help with homework and study Lighthouse drop-in is open every Monday from 2 – 4pm at Rose Cottage, High Street, Twerton.

Ben Saunders Foundation Brief Description of Organisation To raise funds and support Children and Young adults with cancer within the UK. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation I (the founder) Ben Saunders was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer sarcoma attached to my heart which I have been fighting since October 2019. It has spread into my lungs and I have faced many challenges along the way. These include two major open heart surgeries, 6 rounds of very intense chemotherapy’s which I am now currently back on! These are just some of the things I have experienced along my cancer journey and I am looking to help and offer whatever I can alongside my family and the foundation to offer support to young people with cancer like myself. I have been fortunate enough throughout my journey so far to have received the support I have, whether that being mentally, physically or a short holiday with friends recently to Centreparcs. I feel everyone in these circumstances deserves to be given as much support and happiness through the very difficult times they will come across. (Written on 8/9/20): We’d like to thank everyone for their continued support. Today was the most difficult day anyone can ever go through. Ben is missed every single second and will never be forgotten.
