Although the work of The Living Room is underpinned by its Christian foundation, full respect is afforded for the individual beliefs of staff and clients and Christianity is not imposed on a client.

The project is partly supported by Churches Together in Stevenage and also relies on grants, community partnerships and charitable giving.

To enable us to continue our valuable work, we rely on gifts and bequests from individuals and organisations who want to assist us.

If you would like to help us to continue offering our free services to the community, please send your donations, no matter how small, payable to "The Living Room".
