New Life Christian Church,Abercarn, Caerphilly, South Wales,have been adapting to changing needs of community,by shifting outreach methods,like Wednesday toddler group,that is not meeting in person,at this time,but has been replaced by a scheme providing babypacks,containing nappies,wipes etc,so that those who were being supplied on Wednesdays,are still being looked after. Hadyn Jefferies and a small group of volunteers from the church are providing parcels of food and household products to those in need. They have helped to pay small bills by topping up gas and electricity cards,as well as making phone calls to vulnerable and older people in their community. They also received funding from GAVO grant to cover the cost of food parcels. Also Gareth and Hannah Jenkins and the Leadership Team at Newbridge AOG Church,generously supported them and paid their mortgage for two months to allow them to achieve this. God is amazing!'
