To find out "What is the Besom? " or "How can I/My Church get involved? " please click here.

"Besom has helped to bridge the gap between a passionate church and a broken community. Besom does this by simple, but real acts of love; house painting, furniture delivery, gardening or even time for a cuppa and a chat. Its a privilege to be used by God to love his people, its also amazing to see Jesus working in the lives of the people we serve. Two guys who I did my first Besom jobs for have been coming to church for over a year now, and are fully going after God!"
