Sasha's Project       Our chosen charity 2026/2027

Sasha's Project is a charity set up in memory of Sasha, a local girl from Fleet, who died by suicide when she was just 20.  Sasha’s struggles were exacerbated by the lack of help available to her when her mental health was poor. When she was feeling suicidal, she needed compassion, support and a safe place to go to, especially during the night. This wasn’t easily accessible.

​

Currently, if a young person is in crisis in Hampshire and Surrey borders, options for help can be limited, especially during the night. With cases of suicide rising nationally, we aim to provide support that fills this gap.  Sasha’s family feel that having somewhere safe to go would have made the biggest impact on Sasha’s struggles and they want to open a crisis house, open 24/7 with facilities that allow for overnight stays. This is their long-term plan that involves raising substantial funds. 

In the meantime, the charity runs a drop-in centre at The Key Youth Centre, Harlington Way, Fleet every Friday and Saturday night from 8pm till 6am

Samaritan's Purse

For many years, many church members have packed a brightly-coloured shoebox as part of Operation Christmas Child, reaching out to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster or famine with the Love of Jesus Christ.  You can click the logo to send a virtual shoebox if that's what you would like to do.

Action for Children

Each year, all collections from our Christmas services go to support Action for Children, founded 150 years ago by Methodist minister, Thomas Bowman Stephenson.
