Beginning in May 2018, Build on Belief, in partnership with our good friends from CGL have opened a new weekend service in Barking and Dagenham. Staffed by two very experienced service managers, David Hibbert and Kay France, they are working hard to bring the spirit of fun, support and bustling activity to St Lukes at the weekend. 

Although the service has only been open for a matter of weeks, there are already several groups up and running with more to come soon. There is a small but growing volunteer team who are bringing their enthusiasm and life-skills to our blossoming project. You can already see they will be giving other projects a run for their money at the next annual award ceremony!

St Lukes is blessed with a wonderful garden area, the biggest in all of the Build on Belief services, and the team is working hard in the early summer to transform it into an oasis of peace and tranquility. 

As with all of our projects, there is always a bite to eat and a cup of tea when you turn up, and plenty of support from the staff, volunteers and your peers.

SATURDAY Drop-in 11-3pm Core workout 1-1.30pm Garden Club 12-3pm
