We believe that love is most demonstrated through action
This is part of who we are. Every week ordinary people, who care deeply about others, choose to love and serve those in our community in many different ways. There’s lots going on, in lots of different locations, and there’s lots of ways for you to be involved.
What we do
Many people first encounter New Community through our work serving local families and communities across South East London.
Love Bexley
Working alongside social workers and frontline professionals, we provide practical support for families across the borough, including access to essential items, emergency help and seasonal support like Christmas parcels.
Since becoming a trusted distributor of the Bexley Household Support Fund, Love Bexley has helped channel significant support to families facing financial pressure across our community.
Many local professionals know New Community through this work, and we're grateful to play a small part in helping families thrive.
