The Leprosy Mission
|
|
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is an international Christian organisation which helps people affected by leprosy. Founded in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is the oldest and largest leprosy-focused organisation in the world today.
We want to see a leprosy-free world. Our vision is for ‘leprosy defeated, lives transformed’. This is why our main focus is on leprosy work and not other areas of healthcare. However, our work often includes other marginalised people in society, those with severe disabilities or those living in extreme poverty. |

Street Pastors is an inter-denominational Church response to urban issues engaging with people on the streets to offer reassurance, safety and support.
It was pioneered in London in January 2003 and has seen some remarkable results, including drops in crime in areas where teams have been working. There are now over 200 teams around Great Britain. Street Pastors have been caring, listening, and helping on the streets of St Helier since November 2009. A street pastor is a Christian who cares about his/her community. We patrol the streets of St Helier between 11pm and 3am every Saturday night to listen, care, and help. We give out bottles of water and flip-flops and take care of anyone who is in need of assistance or support. |
