Encounter
Creating opportunities for people to encounter Christ, hope, belonging and purpose.

OUR APPROACH
Relief where necessary. Pathways wherever possible. A longer-term view of what support can make possible.
BEYOND TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE
At CKN, we believe meaningful transformation should go beyond temporary assistance. Immediate relief can make an important difference, but it is one part of a longer journey.
Our ambition is to help people become stable, independent and eventually able to help someone else. Faith, practical support, education and opportunity all have a part to play.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUNG PEOPLE
“We do not simply tell young people what to avoid; we help them discover what they can become.”
Young people need hope, direction, positive relationships and genuine opportunities. Through mentoring, awareness, education and practical opportunities, we aim to help them make informed decisions about their future.
FAITH INTO ACTION
Bring your faith, experience and compassion. Help create a pathway for someone else.
