STENECOURT CHESED GROUP

The role of the Group is to offer support where possible to members of Stenecourt and their immediate families. Sometimes this may involve help with shopping, hospital or sick visiting and similar practical acts of chesed which a good neighbour would perform for someone in need. Alternatively, it can consist of acting as a “listening ear” or befriending someone who may have suffered a bereavement recently. This kind of support is especially needed in the case of former Stenecourt members who, through age or infirmity, are now living in residential or nursing homes.

Please let us know if you are aware of someone who may welcome contact with the Stenecourt Chesed Group. Please get in touch with any of the people listed below with some basic details of the person concerned – name, address, contact details and type of help which may be needed. We cannot promise to meet every request for help but we shall do what we can. The activities of the Group are organised by a small core group which meets regularly:
