The chapel at Brandon is an amalgamation of four chapels in the
local area and was formed 23 years ago. Members and friends meet regularly to worship and serve
God and provide opportunities for a variety of social activities.
There are currently 70 members and always a warm welcome for more members or visitors.
The church is currently supporting work based on a farm in a very poor
rural area of Bangladesh. A herd of goats has been bought and delivered.
Basic living accommodation has been built for the orphans and the number
has been increased to 20 from 12. Also the number of pupils now attending
the school has been increased to 164. Members and friends are very much
involved in raising money to support this project and are having a great
time in fellowship working for this worthwhile project.

Network meets on the first and third Mondays of the month at 2pm in the chapel
KFC (Kids Fun Club) meets each Wednesday 5.30 - 7pm for boys and
