At SBC we support a number of different local mission projects: Town Chaplains, Street Pastors, Welcome Here.
As a church we hope to support some of the individuals involved in these great projects through prayer, connecting and giving. Please see below for more info & how you can support.

''Our volunteer chaplains serve the community of Stratford-upon-Avon. The team is made up of trained and experienced volunteers from the local churches.
We are available to anyone who wants to talk in confidence; to be a listening ear; to bring a word of comfort or encouragement, and if people wish, to pray with them. It may be just a one-off meeting or we are happy to arrange a follow-up if required, or signpost to other support.''
“We aim to be a visible Christian presence on the streets of Stratford upon Avon within the night time economy, demonstrating the love of Christ by bridge building, offering a helping hand and a listening ear to all we meet.
We are part of a national team first pioneered in 2003, and Street Pastors continues to grow throughout the UK and across the world.
Street Pastors are trained volunteers from local churches and we care about our community. We are usually on patrol from 8:30pm up to 2am on a Friday night.''
''Helping refugees to rebuild their lives and achieve their full potential in safety and dignity. Raise local awareness and promote positive attitudes towards those who have been forced to flee their homes as a result of war, conflict or persecution.''
