Who we are
The Branch is an innovative local response, providing a valued space at the heart of our market town where we partner in unlocking potential and building brighter futures.
Born out of the desire to love our neighbour and serve the local community, we recognise each individual and family unit as unique. We create a space where they can grow holistically - confronting and removing barriers, creating connection, offering opportunity and then step into playing a meaningful part in their community.
By investing in and releasing potential - through nurture, training, connection & opportunity - we aim to break cycles of poverty, isolation, violence & disadvantage once and for all.
