Compassion at Wellspring Church Leicester
Jesus taught us to love our neighbour and serve the poor. We believe that the God of the Bible is passionately concerned about poverty in all its forms. We see this demonstrated powerfully in the life of Jesus, who was anointed by the Holy Spirit to bring good news to those trapped in poverty (Luke 4:18). Jesus poured out His time, energy, attention and concern predominantly towards the oppressed, vulnerable and marginalised. We seek to follow his example of compassion as we serve our community in a number of ways.
Providing Debt Help in Leicester
Wellspring partners with Christians Against Poverty (CAP UK) to support local people here in Leicester who are living with unmanageable debt. At Wellspring, we’ve seen how poverty robes people of dignity, hope and opportunities, and together with CAP we’re determined to fight back.

Relieving Food Poverty
No one should go hungry or be forced to choose between heating or eating. The reality however, is that for many in our city this is exactly the choice they are faced with. Here at Wellspring we run Manor House Foodbank to help provide relief to those who are suffering from food poverty in the local area. If you want to find out more about the project or how to access our food bank click below.

Heart of the Community
As a church we run Manor House Community Centre. The heart behind our community centre is to provide a welcoming and accessible space for the local community. Our community centre is run by staff as well as many volunteers. We provide a space for other charities and not for profits to meet as well as hiring rooms to help pay for the running of the centre.

Partnering with Jubilee+
At Wellspring, we partner with the national charity Jubilee+, giving to them financially, utilising their resources and attending their events. Jubilee+ believe that local churches and individual Christians should be mercy-bringers in their communities, especially to those in poverty. Disciples of Jesus are called to become more and more like Him in our compassion, generosity, mercy, justice, kindness and welcome. Jubilee+ looks to equip the church to be the mercy bringers they are called to be. You can find out more about their work below.
