Taunton Besom
started in September 2005. At present we serve churches in the Taunton
Deane area and have undertaken projects in Bridgwater too.
What We Do
Time-givers have
given time to do garden and house clearances and general home
maintenance. For example we had 8 time-givers involved in a garden
clearance for a family with learning difficulties.
Rubbish was
removed to the tip whilst pruning, weeding, digging and cutting took
place. The family joined in and a fun day was had by all. New plants
were given to add colour. Passers-by were curious about the whirlwind
of activity and many stopped to chat. Both the family and the Social
Housing Support Services were delighted by the transformation.
Having built good relationships with the family some of the team
offered to return to lay a new bathroom floor complete with plywood
underlay. The deepening relationship led to the family asking the
second team to pray with them at the end of the day.
