This year, Langley House Trust will be exhibiting at New Wine (25th July – 8th August). The event – one of the largest Christian gatherings in the country – will provide the opportunity to share about our work with ex-offenders and how support from individuals and churches can help change lives for the better.
Over 44 churches supported Langley projects last year – with churches donating their time, money and talents to help turn ex-offenders’ lives around and reintegrate into the community. The practical support – as well as the opportunity to give something back and become part of a community – is central to successful rehabilitation.
Attendees at New Wine will be encouraged to discover what’s in our treasure box and how they can become ‘treasure hunters’ through working with ex-offenders.
Sharing about his his experience at Langley – and how it has helped to shape his life afresh – one resident said: “I felt hopeful about coming to Langley. They’ve given me a chance. They haven’t said ‘no, we don’t want you.’ That’s really important to me.”
