We seek ways to serve the community
Community Food Co-op
Started in June 2007, the Dyserth Community Food Co-op served fresh fruit and vegetables every week until the pandemic forced it to close The Co-op began as an initiative of Horeb but its members and volunteers come from the community of Dyserth and beyond. Find out more here.
Dyserth Community Lunch
We hold a monthly community lunch which is open to everyone – young and old. This normally takes place on the first Wednesday of every month when a two course cooked dinner is served for a very reasonable cost. The pandemic has forced the closure of this service at present. Find out more here.
We are a Fairtrade Church
