WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO CONTINUE PROVIDING SERVICES FOR THOSE IN NEED

Over the last year, poverty in deprived areas of the UK has risen because of Coronavirus and the cost of living crisis. Around 15 million people are in poverty – that works out as about 1 in 4 people. Government cuts and financial difficulty due to the pandemic means that working class areas have suffered the most. Burnley is one of these areas.

We help people out of poverty in a dignified, human way – offering the support that is needed, whether that’s clothes, food, recovery or just a chat – all while serving God. Through prayer, donating, or volunteering you can help us carry on running vital services while expanding to other areas across the North West.

Prayer

Prayer is the foundation of everything we do here at COTS. We know that there are many people around the world who quietly seek our Lord, Jesus Christ, on behalf of the COTS community. Your prayers are welcome and appreciated.
