52 Weeks - 52 Charities

Since its foundation, the Besom nationally has held three visions, it is a lay-led faith ministry, a relational service for team members, givers, and recipients, and it is a service for those who have, to meet and support those that do not ( money, skills, time or simply things ).

 

Besom in the Wirral is based at St Peters church in Heswall, the Besom is the traditional name for a brush made of twigs, and their aim is to “Sweep away suffering” by matching people with shared needs, a lot of the time this involves moving furniture to where it is needed most.

 

Recently their old van was taken off the road, so Cheshire Freemasons were delighted to make a grant in order to get the team mobile again, and help them keep up their good work.
