Moor Lane Church aims to help meet the needs of local people.

We are working with a local charity to provide food to those in Cranham and the surrounding area. Typical food available includes bread, bakery items, eggs. fresh fruit and vegetables and these are donated by local supermarkets. We aim to support each family or household referred to us or who apply through our application form.
