CHROMA COMPASSION
Our Vision
To be light and hope for the most vulnerable in Leicester by showing that we care. As we pursue God's heart, we hope to see individuals transformed through our compassion projects, where poverty is rare and people thrive.
Our Mission
At Chroma Church we want to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We hope to identify need and provide people in crisis with the appropriate care; practically, emotionally, spiritually. To restore value, hope, and empower them to engage with the root causes and be lifted out of poverty.
Chroma Compassion
Foodbank
Central to our local compassion projects is the food bank where we encourage everyone to connect first!
Our friendly and welcoming environment helps people to open up to share their story, understand their need and provides a door for us to offer appropriate care. Here people in crisis can collect emergency food and supplies to help for between 3-5 days.
We partner with a wide range of agencies and care professionals such as nurses, schools and social workers to identify people in need. To refer clients, support services and agencies can access our Referral Form.

Safe Families For Children
Safe Families for Children help reduce the number of children who need to go into care in the UK.
We believe God loves to see families together. This targets the heart of the Church as a completely voluntary service, where we offer our support to help families who need it.
The Kings Table
We love to see our city transformed by the love of Jesus. We have 4 big dinners that happen across the year where we share a delicious dinner followed by desserts and coffee to the homeless and those who have nowhere else to go.
The guests are seated at a restaurant-style table by a team of volunteers who serve them food and drinks. We invite them to enjoy a family atmosphere, with lots of food and fun, as we meet practical needs, prophesy life, speak value into those who need it most and serve in love.
