What is Refresh?
Refresh is the Church of Weymouth and Portland in Action.
​
Our passion is to share the good news about Jesus and serve the people of Weymouth and Portland.
​
We mobilise the local church of Weymouth and Portland to run various events to share the good news of Jesus. Eg. Refresh Celebration services, Good Friday and Easter services, Christmas Nativity and other outreach events.
We also work together in social action to help those who are in need; providing debt counselling (CAP), baby equipment, clothing and homeware for families (Family Matters), recovery courses for those struggling with life controlling habits (Fresh Start), publishing a programme of activities that run in Weymouth that are either free or very low cost (Keep in Touch), job support, a night shelter during the winter months for rough sleepers and the homeless in partnership with the Lantern Trust, and various other projects through our affiliations.
​
The local church leaders meet once a month for breakfast and spend time together in worship, prayer and catching up on current events.
Our Team
Refresh is a registered charity in the UK and a team of trustees oversee its work with a coordinator overseeing the various projects and events.
Project Leaders and Volunteers
Our various projects are run by our most wonderful project leaders and the incredible army of volunteers. Their skills extend from being fully trained debt coaches to stacking shelves and sorting through donations and everything in between.
