Generosity
Generosity comes in many shapes and sizes. Everyday around the UK people give hours of their time, they give their passions and guts by volunteering, they share their talents to make a positive difference. June 2018 saw publication of a report (click here to read it) outlining that in Sheffield Christians and other faith groups contribute 1.,240,000 hours of volunteer time to our city, worth about £11.2m a year!
Volunteers in sheffield
People from The Well volunteer in lots of projects around Sheffield - particularly to serve our city's poor and vulnerable.
Here's a few of the projects our people are involved in serving:
S6 Foodbank - emergency food
Good News Café - Saturday morning breakfast at Sheffield Cathedral Archer Project
Social Action Saturdays - young adults working with Open Hands
Doncaster Prison - visiting and meeting prisoners weekly
Befriending Homeless rough sleepers - bimonthly Friday nights, offering food around the city centre
We love to give our money away and we aim to tithe (10%) our income as a church to good causes.
An experienced team help to research and propose where we give our money to make an impact.

Christians are generous in response to God's generosity to us. This goes for money too.
How a person spends their spare cash is often a barometer of their heart.
You can be part of the story of The Well by making a financial donation. We encourage our regular members to move from feeling like 'visiting friends' to become 'family' by supporting the church with regular gifts. You can read a short booklet explaining this here.
We’re not asking for your money! We’re inviting you into an opportunity to be part of the journey and to partner with The Well in creating a community of faith and love which furthers the kingdom of God in our generation, our city and the nations. We believe in what’s happening through The Well. Do you?
