Need a helping hand?
Neighbourhood Help
Our offer of help to local residents as always proved to be very popular and so we were running at full capacity throughout the Let's Go week. We tackled a variety of jobs including weeding and tidying gardens, painting and general DIY.
|
Why we make this offer?
For a long time different churches have been
working hard
for the community but together we are able to do things that we could never do on our own. What can be
done in a week has a lasting impact on
communities within the Horsham distrcit. People are starting to understand that they can ask the church for help.

“I would recommend the Let’s Go team to anyone, because they are there to help anyone. No matter how old or young you are they will help you in one way or another. I think they are great.”
G Ottley, Horsham Resident
"Time and again, people have said to me or others on the community projects "I didn't know the church did this kind of thing." It is so good to be visibly active and involved in the community. God cares passionately for our world, and as his disciples we can show that God's love is genuine by the way we care for and serve others. Let's Go enables us to live out in a way that people can easily understand the truth of Jesus that we read in Mark's Gospel: He came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. "
Dominic Newstead, Vicar of Southwater
“Having the Let’s Go team working on my home and garden was such an amazing gift! They worked hard, fast and achieved so much in a short time. Everything was cleared away perfectly when tasks were finished. The best part was how kind and friendly they all were. It was like having a brilliant ‘family’ call in to see me. I cannot say “Thanks” enough. I felt overwhelmed and speechless (rare for me) They offered to pray for me, that was beautiful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!”
C Willis, Southwater Resident

“The five of them make a lovely job of my wild garden. I was so pleased as I can’t get down to gardening now. God Bless.”
J Chandler, Broadbridge Heath Resident
“I cannot thank Let’s Go enough, so professional, so quick and everything was left so clean and tidy. The boys and Nick were so nice, it makes one feel that they are some really lovely people still around. I am so grateful and happy. Thank you again, I am so amazed that Let’s Go did this for me being on my own. I cannot express my thoughts. Thank You.”
A Warman, Horsham Resident
“After receiving a leaflet from the Let’s Go team. I phoned to ask for help making my garden look like garden. A team of people came the next week and did just that. They all worked really hard and made such a big difference. They were all a lovely, friendly and helpful team of people and I would certainly use them again. I can highly recommend the Let’s Go team and am very grateful for all their help.
S Chance, Roffey Resident
“We would highly recommend the Let's Go gardening team. They have done a fantastic job on our garden. They did not even stop when the rain was coming down in buckets. Thank you very much to you all. It was a pleasure to look out the back window and walk out into the garden today.”
A Lynch, Horsham Resident
“Thank you so much for your excellent most appreciated hard work in my garden. You have totally transformed it. At the time you gave your help my husband had just walked out on myself and baby plus 4 older children on mother's day - for somebody else - all unbeknown to myself. Your kindness restored my faith in human beings and reminded me that everybody is not the same. Once again thank you so, so much.”
Carole, Horsham Resident
“Thank you so much for the team of hard workers who came on Wednesday (17th May) to cut my hedge. They did a wonderful job - it looks much better than it has done in a long time! They certainly get my recommendations. A job well done.”
P Smith, Horsham Resident
“Let's Go is a fantastic way for Christians to work together right across Horsham in serving our town. Often people outside the church think we are good at talking but slower at getting on with the job of being the church in practical ways. Let's Go offers the Church in Horsham the opportunity to demonstrate that we are eager to be practical Christians and not just talkers.”
Revd. Ewen Souter, Vicar of St. John's, Broadbridge Heath
“It was lovely to get help to clean my garden and to tidy it up, something I cannot do any more. Lovely young people doing a good job. It was hard work but so well done. My tea and biscuits were well appreciated!! Thank you to everyone helping me.”
