Bethshan Charity Shop 2.3

"Bethshan was opened as a result of the vision and passion of Hope Community Church who took up the challenge to provide Newtown with its only Nursing Home. Our dream was to provide a place where the frail elderly could be cared for with love, dignity and excellence in an environment grounded in Christian principles, yet open to all regardless of their personal faith. The name "Bethshan" was chosen because it means "House of Security" and our goal was for every resident to experience a sense of peace and security which would be a blessing both to them and their families. The trustees are committed to ensuring that Bethshan is a great place to live and a great place to work and we seek to ensure that our values permeate every aspect of the home. Our Church calls Bethshan "the miracle on the hill", and we are both humbled and thrilled that we have been able to play a role in meeting the needs of the elderly in Mid-Wales." -Rev. Alan Hewitt: Chair of Trustees Senior Pastor of Hope Community Church

As part of our fundraising campaign, we opened a Charity Shop in the centre of Newtown, with the aim of raising funds for the building project, and to help raise awareness of the needs of older people in our community.
