Welcome to the Helping Hand Charity Website

July - Summer 2007 Newsletter now on the News Page

Helping Hand is a Christian Charity enterprise supported by over forty churches in the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre area of Lancashire.  The Charity was originally set up to help the church respond professionally to the needs of people who have life controlling and debilitating problems, such as drug and alcohol misuse, poverty and homelessness, which have prevented them from amongst other things, entering employment, education or integrating into the local community.

The main aims of our organisation are by working in partnership with statutory organisations, agencies, private landlords and employers to meet social, emotional, spiritual, educational and training needs of our clients to enable people to become fully reintegrated into society.

‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.  I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Matthew 25: 35, 36 and 45 (Jesus talking to his disciples)
