What We Do!

Besom enables followers of Jesus to put God's love into action by giving generously, creatively & effectively to those in need by providing:

Christmas Hampers

Each year we prepare Christmas Hampers and deliver between 150 to 190 local families and individuals, who have been referred to us. They contain most of the items you would expect to enjoy over Christmas such as: puddings, cakes, luxury biscuits, chocolates, mince pies and a gift for each family member.
