Since moving to The Pavilion in 2013, Lifespring church has built itself up as a prominent community outreach hub. Their compassion and generosity has made a difference to everyone who has walked up their steps Some have found a second chance, some friendship, some hope. All have found a community to belong to that is welcoming to everyone. It is important that these people do not go unrecognised. Each one has kindness to offer and stories to tell. The voices in these audio podcasts are just part of the picture. A fabulous exhibition of photos and extras, capturing the essence of each participant, is on permanent display at Lifespring Church @ The Pavilion (address as above) and at The Biscuit Factory, Reading. Thank you to all the people we spoke to - for your time, your trust and your friendship. We are humbled by your generosity.
