Donnison St. Outreach

In conjunction with Gosford City Council, Central Coast Leagues Club and a number of other churches on the Central Coast, NVBC is involved in the Donnison St Outreach, which seeks to feed, honour and befriend those who are homeless and marginalised in the Gosford area.

Volunteers from NVBC often provide over 100 meals each Wednesday evening and in addition, have on-going connections with the homeless of Gosford throughout the week.

As the name implies, the outreach is located in Donnison St., Gosford.

Friendship Club

Friendship Club is committed to the ministry of reaching out to people with mental illness by providing a safe and enjoyable environment where everyone feels welcome and can experience God's love and acceptance.

Each Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 12:00 we meet at Liberty Church in Gosford to socialise through games (rummicub, scrabble, cards etc.), craft, table tennis or just chatting. Morning tea is provided.

Ways to support Friendship Club

  • Prayer – We believe prayer is vital to this ministry. Specific prayer information can be given to you if you request it.
  • Tell people about Friendship Club, come along or bring someone along.
  • Contribute biscuits, sambos etc. for morning tea
  • Transport people to or from Friendship Club
  • Join our team of friendly helpers having fun at Friendship Club

Friendship Club is jointly run by NVBC and Liberty Church.
