HBC COMMUNITY TRUST

HBC Community Trust was established in April 2019 to provide a Trust that is "fit for purpose" for current and future community activities. The Trust oversees a number of activities that have been running for many years under the Church and an older Trust which has now been wound up. The Trust seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of people in Henderson and the surrounding area.  With an emphasis on the alleviation of poverty and on community development, the Trust provides a sharp focus that reminds us of the part we  must play as Christians in this local community - to bring hope, shelter, food and comfort to those who need it.

Community Meal

Every Friday night at 6pm we share a meal together as a community.  This is made possible by the wonderful generosity of volunteers, sponsors and other donors.  People come to our Community Meal for a range of reasons: some feel it is an opportunity to spend time with others in a safe environment; others enjoy the christian values at work throughout the evening; and still others see it as a good opportunity to simply come for a hot meal and some friendly conversation. 

The Baptist Magazine published a story about the beginnings of the Community Meal. Click here to read the story.

Car Boot Sale

For many  years the Car Boot Sale has been a mainstay of Henderson Community life.  Each week buyers and sellers alike come and enjoy themselves while getting a few bargains.

The sale runs from 6am - midday each Saturday morning.  Stalls cost $10 per carpark and are on a first-come-first-served basis.
​ 
​No hot food (unless by prior arrangement) or illicit material allowed.  Thank you.

HENDERSON WORKSHOP

The Henderson Workshop came out of a concern by local churches in Henderson several years ago to provide for young people who would benefit from one-on-one mentoring. We partner with local schools to provide a great experience where young people are able to use their hands to build a project and learn some valuable life lessons on the way.
