Happy Birthday Horsham Matters
On Sunday 26th April 2026, Horsham Matters celebrated a truly special milestone – 20 years of making a difference.
Horsham Matters began 20 years ago as a social action arm of Horsham Churches Together to support people in our community struggling with hunger, financial worries, and isolation. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, churches came together with a simple aim: that no one in Horsham District should face hardship alone. Since then, Horsham Matters has grown, adapted, and continued to show up. Whether that’s through their 15 weekly foodbank sessions, outreach and support services, or the two connecting cafes. Thanks to the incredible people who have volunteered, donated, and supported this work over the years.

Pray for peace amidst anxiety, focus in their revision, and patience while they wait for results. Pray also for all the staff and families supporting them through this high-pressure time.
