The Jubilee Community Centre is a 44,000 square feet building in East Grinstead, bought and refurbished by the generosity of church members, which not only meets the needs of all church activities but also provides a modern and flexible resource for the local and business communities.
Jubilee Initiatives.
Our Jubilee Initiatives seek to engage the centre and church with projects and charities promoting those in need in our neighbourhood, nation and the nations. It is our aim to offer support, finance and prayer, encouraging the excellent work being done.
East Grinstead Foodbank
EG Foodbank support local individuals and families in crisis who cannot afford to put food on the table, referred to us by local agencies.
In exchange for a referal voucher, we give clients food and household items sufficient for at least 3 days. We also try to understand their needs and situation. We refer clients into a network of other charities and agencies, such as Citizens’ Advice and CAP, to support them through their financial crisis.

Christians Against Poverty (CAP)
CAP aim to eliminate UK poverty by supporting people in debt, researching causes, and advising decision-makers on changes to break the poverty cycle.
We provide families with both emotional and practical support. Through CAP, we help negotiate with creditors and create budgets that prioritize essential living costs.
Jubilee Community Church partnered with CAP in 2022 to offer free, face-to-face debt counselling and money coaching workshops. These workshops teach practical budgeting skills and a simple, effective money management system.
Our dedicated local debt coaches, supported by a team of volunteer befrienders from the church, offer guidance and encouragement to help clients on their journey out of debt.
Uganda Water Project
In 2016 International Needs Uganda began a pilot programme in Buikwe to support families with water, sanitation and hygiene initiatives.
They began a project to improve the health and quality of life of people in selected villages in the area around Lake Victoria. They also continue to provide basic support for these villages. In 2018, a group from Jubilee Community Church raisied money for fresh water and sanitation in the village of Kizigo. They helped construct Tippy Taps, visited schools and churches, and took part in sport with the local Boda Boda boys. They assisted in assembling wheelchairs that arrived in flat packs and aided in their distribution.
Individuals from the group joined their sponsorship programme which enables children to receive nutritious school meals, emergency health care and educational resources.
