bethany christian trust

In November 1930 the Aberdeen Press & Journal announced that courtesy of Sheret Court Mission: “hot satisfying meals will be served each Sunday in the Mission Hall to all those who, suffering from adversity, enter its hospitable portals, the average number so far catered for being between 250 and 300. On Saturdays and Mondays, tea is provided in the same free and hearty fashion.” Many years have passed since then but the basic human need for shelter, food and support continues.

 

Over time the work has expanded to include a Community Care Shop ‘Ferst Port of Call’ and Drop-ins we call ‘The Lighthouse’. In 2008 the demand for services in the city was so great that we launched a new initiative to help people resettle in their communities called Passing The Baton. Today, hundreds of Bethany volunteers in Aberdeen, like Professor Hay over 120 years ago, are keeping the vision alive by continuing to express Christian love in action to homeless and vulnerable people.
