Simon and Jo-Ann Eastwood - Pastoral, Social & Community Work, Colburn

• Colburn Community Support was officially launched in March 2022 and is built on Christian foundations.
• It is a faith-based organisation, but we are not faith biased.
• We use the following verse from the book of Proverbs as one of our aims and objectives.
• "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
• Ultimately, were an organisation who want to offer a listening ear and friendly face supporting the local community.

• Practical, emotional, admin & educational support to local families

• Help with CVs, job applications & benefit forms
• Bereavement support to those losing loved ones in difficult circumstances
• support at the local branch of Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (www.uksobs.org)
• Advocacy services
• A listening ear and a friendly face
• We aim to offer a service that is compassionate, personalised & empowering.
• We are based at various locations in Colburn, or we can meet at a place to suit you.
