Non‑Profit Services at Holy Family Catholic Church Patchway

Ever wonder what non‑profit services actually do for people like you? At Holy Family Catholic Church we run a mix of programs that tackle real needs – from food drives to legal help for setting up charitable trusts. The goal is simple: give you practical ways to help, learn, and grow while strengthening our neighbourhood.

Our community outreach team meets residents where they are. They organize pop‑up health checks, run after‑school clubs, and partner with local shelters. If you’ve ever walked past a shelter and thought you could do more, this is the spot where that extra effort turns into a real service.

Community Outreach Programs

Each month we launch a new outreach event. One week it might be a free legal clinic for people wanting to start a charitable trust; the next, a cleaning day at the park. Volunteers get a short briefing, a list of tasks, and the chance to talk directly to those who benefit. No paperwork, no long training – just a clear plan and a supportive team.

Why does this matter? Direct contact builds trust. When someone sees a friendly face handing out fresh produce or explaining how a trust can protect a family’s future, they’re more likely to stay engaged and ask for help later. That ripple effect is the heart of non‑profit work.

How to Get Involved with Non‑Profit Services

Ready to jump in? Start by signing up on our website or dropping by the parish office. You’ll pick a role that matches your schedule – a few hours on a Saturday, a monthly commitment, or even a one‑off skill‑share session. We keep a running list of needs, so you can pick a project that feels right.

If you’re thinking about a charitable trust, our finance volunteers can walk you through the basics: tax benefits, how to protect assets, and what paperwork is needed. It’s not as intimidating as it sounds, and the church covers most of the initial advice for free.

Volunteering also has perks for you. Studies show regular volunteers report higher wellbeing and stronger community ties. Plus, you get a chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and see the tangible impact of your effort within weeks.

We also guide donors toward trustworthy charities. Our annual report ranks local groups based on transparency, impact, and community feedback. If you’re looking to give money, you can trust that your donation goes where it counts.

In short, non‑profit services at Holy Family are about making help easy, effective, and personal. Whether you’re handing out snack packs, helping a family set up a trust, or simply showing up for a cleaning day, you become part of a bigger story of community care.
