Our February Charity – Lyn’s House
Lyn’s House is a transformational community based in Cambridge. It was founded in 2013 not as a care provider, but as a community of life-enhancing friendship amongst people with, and people without, intellectual disabilities.
Our aims are simple: to bring those who are usually marginalised to the centre, and to enable people who don’t normally meet to encounter each other in a spirit of mutual welcome and openness.
Christian faith and shared patterns of prayer are at the heart of the community. We’re also intentionally ecumenical: community members come from a wide range of Christian traditions from Orthodox to independent Evangelical.
About Charity of the Month at St Mark’s
Charity of the Month was created as a way of coming together as a church community to raise money for good causes. The scheme provides ongoing support to certain organisations, and each year members of our congregation are also invited to suggest charities that they would like to promote.
