COMPASSION & PRACTICAL SUPPORT
Charis
Community.
Compassion that creates a pathway forward.
THE PURPOSE
Meet the need.
See the person.
Charis Community is the practical-support area of CKN. It is designed to respond to people and families facing poverty, hardship, homelessness and other difficult circumstances.
Immediate relief is sometimes necessary. Wherever possible, our ambition is also to connect that support with longer-term opportunities for stability and self-sufficiency.
WHAT THIS COULD INCLUDE
Connect
Educational assistance, community outreach and connections to longer-term opportunities.
Build stability
Support that aims to help vulnerable individuals and families move towards greater self-sufficiency.
PEOPLE AT THE CENTRE
Who we hope
to support.
People and families facing disadvantage, hardship or circumstances that make stability difficult to achieve.
Compassion begins with the need in front of us, while keeping sight of the person’s longer-term potential.
Programme activities are currently in development. Specific opportunities will be shared as initiatives take shape.
FAITH INTO ACTION
Bring your experience.
Be part of the possibility.
