Project 5000
I am a volunteer for Project 5000. It’s a church of Loughborough initiative that provides a safe place for people to be loved and listened to and for those who it: need practical help to get a meal, some hot drinks, and a bag of food for the week. It runs once a week on a Monday night at Emmanuel Church. 
I've just arrived back from a Monday session and I always come away feeling so excited about what God could do in the lives of the people there, so I decided to write an article to let everyone know so they can get involved too. I started going along to Project 5000 pretty much when I came to Loughborough about a year and a half ago, and have been going most weeks since then. My role is to sit and listen and to chat to the guests and just to accept them. There are other people who cook and help out in the kitchen on a once a month basis.
It would be great if we could run an alpha course with the guests who are asking questions about God and are up for talking at more depth, but we need more volunteers. I am just beginning to form a small team of people (myself, Rich Curtis and Jimmy Willot) who will build relationships and hopefully out of that we can see some other stuff happen.
The project is held on a Monday night, from about 7-9, if you are at all interested and want to come along or just know more, please get in contact.
I look forward to hearing from you!!
Love
Sarah Crouch
