Our Story

The project was started by Anna and Steve Hartland in 2004, who, after watching a lifetime of Christian service from Anna’s parents, decided to share the love of God by doing something very practical to help those in need.

Loaves N Fishes began in a garage and through God’s providence went from strength to strength, and the charity is now in its fourth building which holds thousands of household items – furniture, household goods and clothing.

Although Anna and Steve are no longer with the charity, Loaves N Fishes continues to uphold the core ethos, values and aims of sharing Christ’s Compassion in Action, and we honour them for their faithfulness over the years.
