The Christmas Appeal.
Give a gift that makes a real difference this Christmas.
This Christmas, our Christmas Appeal is directed towards the continued development of The Hope Centre - a place where hundreds of people are welcomed each week, including some of the most vulnerable in our community.
The Hope Centre is a place where our community is served with dignity, care and practical support. It is a place of real joy, peace and hope.
Through the Hope Centre, we are seeking to strengthen and deepen our work in close partnership with The Foodbank and the CAP Debt Centre, and alongside other local organisations, offer not just emergency help but long-term support, welcome and hope.
For more information about the work we do, please take a look at the rest of this page.

The Hope Centre.
Hope, Dignity & Transformation.
The Hope Centre is an initiative of Saint Wilfrid Church. We are committed to offering services that meet immediate needs & help bring future hope for families and individuals living in Bognor, & beyond.
Our Mission.
With compassion we confront poverty and injustice so that lives are transformed and Jesus is known.
By sharing the love and hope of Christ, meeting basic needs, and speaking out for the marginalized, we work toward lasting change and empower people to build stable, hope-filled futures.
Our Values.
Hope.
Our hope is anchored in Jesus Christ, whose redemption brings purpose and peace to every life.
Dignity.
We create spaces of belonging where every person is honoured and respected, regardless of ethnicity, income, legal standing, or belief.
Transformation.
We believe transformation is a shared journey—God changes us all as we serve, love, and walk alongside one another.
We rely on our incredible volunteers to serve our guests & would love to help you get connected to a serving role that fits your gifts and interests.
