The Destiny Angels service gives people the time to speak freely about what is bothering them with a calm individual who is able to offer immediate prayer support, provide practical solutions and signpost to other services, where appropriate.

Through the local church setting people have the opportunity to make friends and develop a more meaningful life, although no-one is compelled to attend church. This is a 'no strings attached' initiative. The unique aspect of this service is the combination of practical and spiritual support offered.

Why Destiny Angels?

The destructive effects of poverty, particularly isolation and feelings of worthlessness, experienced by those marginalised by a lack of productive participation in society need to be addressed.

"Destiny Angels helpline launched in May 2007 with just a handful of volunteers involved and 36 calls to the helpline in the first month. The project now operates in 4 major cities receiving an average of 250 calls per month.

Teams of volunteers are supporting individuals and families practically amd spiritually in communities across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Inverness.

Word has spread quickly of the help and support available from within a Church setting. The walls have come down and the church is stepping out into the community, where it truly belongs.
