St Mary's Church - Through the RoofThrough the Roof is a registered charity that exists to Transform lives through Jesus with disabled people.The charity’s name comes from the Bible account where some men break through the roof to help their disabled friend meet Jesus (Luke 5). We recognise that every person is made in the image of God and has inherent value and worth, which includes people who have personal experience of disability.There are 1 billion disabled people living in the world today, and 12 million in the UK (18% of the population). Statistics show that globally a disabled person is more likely to live in poverty and isolation and to be a victim of crime and discrimination. They are less likely to be in employment and have less access to education, transport, appropriate housing and the internet (Office of Disability Issues). The cost of bringing up a disabled child is three times greater than bringing up a non-disabled child (Scope). Many of our dedicated trustees, staff team, volunteers and donors have personal experience of disability and seek to make a positive difference to the lives of disabled people and their families by:Providing life-changing opportunities for disabled peopleEquipping the Christian community to fully involve disabled peopleWe achieve these aims by delivering three activity programmes:International MissionChurch InclusionHolidays and RetreatsThrough the Roof is part of the Churches for All network.

We are opening the Church Hall once a month for a local community group. It is on the first Tuesday every month from 10am to 12pm. The next one is on Tuesday 7th January 2025. Refreshments will be served and it will be a chance to chat over a cuppa and meet other people, and to provide the opportunity for people to come along with anything they need help with, and to see if any help or advice is available about any issue, large or small, within the group, or possibly by <a></a>referring them to others, if required. For example, if you need help with computers, practical jobs at home, or filling in forms. It is also for anyone who may be able to offer any kind of help or advice; a kind of skills bank where we can all help one another. All are welcome. Just turn up anytime between 10am and 12pm. We look forward to meeting you.
