Dear Friends,
Having worked in the city for 27 years, I'm more and more aware of the great number of charities and projects that exist to serve those in Southampton with various needs. Many of us regularly come into contact with people who would benefit from the work of these organizations but may not know of their existence or how to get in touch. I'm very grateful to the team at Above Bar Church who, in association with Southampton Christian Network, have put together this Service Directory that brings this information together in one place. As an umbrella network of Christian churches in Southampton, we wanted to make this directory available to others who would find it a use- ful resource. We are aware that information can go out of date quickly, and the directory is certainly not exhaustive, so we will continue to update it and reprint it every so often. The direc- tory is also available to download from our website at www.southamptonchristiannetwork.org.uk/servicedirectory
Wishing you every blessing in your work in the city,
Billy Kennedy
Chair of Southampton Christian Network and Leader of New Community Church

Al-Anon Family Group Al-Anon Family Groups provide support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking, regardless of whether that person is still drinking or not. For some of our members, the wounds still run deep, even if their loved one may no longer be a part of their lives or have died. We believe alcoholism affects the whole family, not just the drinker. We are an international organization with over 800 support groups in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
