BACKGROUND ON PARCHE
The older population is growing and PARCHE cares passionately about the Spiritual welfare of those living in Care Homes. Whether discovering God’s love for the first time, or being Christians all their lives, residents receive fellowship and personal encouragement from the PARCHE Teams. God has something new for every older person – no one is too old, marginalised, vulnerable or lonely to receive from God.
PARCHE is an interdenominational Christian Charity and our heart is to reach older people with the Love of God. All of our funding comes from Church and voluntary donations and this position has arisen through a grant made by a Christian Trust.
As a network of Church-led teams PARCHE provides:
To older people in Care Homes / Sheltered Accommodation/ Nursing Homes:
* Services
\* Bible Studies
\* Communion
\* Pastoral Support
