Leicester Missional Communities
In Leicester we are essentially one big Missional Community, though there are 3 distinct communities developing which may in time become Missional Communities in their own right; one for Students, another for Persian Speakers and another for families with young children. To find our more please get in touch at leicester@reachonline.org
Leicester Reach Response
Reach Response helps our Reach Communities come alongside people in need of extra care or support.
We partner with the following local organisations to come alongside people at their point of need and be a loving community for some of our city’s most vulnerable people.
When a crisis strikes a family with children, its effects can be devastating. Many of us would turn to relatives and friends for support but some families can be really isolated with nobody there to help them. Safe Families works hand-in-hand with Children’s Services to link families in need with local volunteers who can offer them help and support.

Saffires is a Christian charity which supports women who work in Leicester’s sex industry. we do this by providing confidential care, friendship, practical help, signposting to appropriate services and opportunities to make positive life changes.

Leicester Team
If you’re part of Reach Leicester, you’re on the team! We believe every person has a role to play in fulfilling the commission Jesus gave us to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20) and therefore a part to play in our vision “to invest in people to multiply Jesus-centred communities that transform our world”.
Below are a few team members who are carrying significant leadership responsibilities within Reach Leicester that we think you could do with knowing about.
