An introduction to HSI and this blog page



This blog page is here for you to find out more about what we are doing here at HSI. I will be updating it regularly, hopefully weekly informing you what I will be doing in the schools each week so that you can see what is being done and so that you can pray or support the work in whatever way you can.


First some background information...


HSI started in 1995, with the objective of 'providing a live Christian perspective in the Schools of Haverhill and Clare.'


Through me, the paid worker and volunteers we engage with local schools, supporting their assemblies and religious education and any other ways the schools can use us.


In doing so, our aims are to further the development of pupils- their spiritual, moral, social and cultural growth-and open their minds to christian ways of thinking and living.


How HSI is run...


HSI is run by an Executive Committee which meets monthly. They are backed up by a Council of Reference, made up of Church leaders and other mature Christians, to provide stability, support and spiritual oversight, as well as being a reference point for enquirers.


We see HSI as an arm of the local churches, equipped to carry out a particular role in the community.


How does HSI run financially?


HSI is run entirely by voluntary donations from individuals and local businesses, as an investment in the young people of our locality.


if you would like to contribute to this work, either with a one off donation or by giving regulalry please e-mail us;
