A Word

It is my pleasure and honour to be heading up this wonderful charity. Along with a passionate and determined team, our volunteers strive to ensure that we provide a compassionate and practical service to some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable members of our community.
Our Doula service is second to none operating 24/7 support to pregnant women and post-birth whilst our Rapha listening service continues to help to improve the mental wellbeing of our service users. We are making an indelible impact in this city. Thank you for helping me to make Bethel Health and Healing Network better.

Volunteer Testimonial
“I am so grateful to Bethel Health and Healing Network for the opportunity they gave me for volunteering. After less than a year I was able to secure a job as a counsellor working with very vulnerable women living with domestic abuse and I have been recently promoted to be a team leader. This would definitely not have happened without the support of Bethel who provided me with training and supported me with my volunteering. I cannot recommend them enough. If you have been thinking about volunteering this is the organisation that you will love.”
Staff Testimonial
“I am so proud to belong to this team, making a difference to these women and their families lives. Honoured to share in their labours and births and the baby cuddles are never refused. It’s not always a happy story but we can make it an easier one”
