| The Breakfast Club | Mission to Seafarers | Fair Trade |
|---|---|---|
 This is a project run by Hartlepool Town Centre Churches Together, staffed by volunteers, including some from Stranton and Burbank. The club offers breakfast and practical help for the homeless and other people in need, each Monday and Wednesday morning. It is based at St Joseph’s Parish Centre, off Grange Road. |
 The Mission to Seafarers is a worldwide Anglican organisation, providing pastoral care and practical help for seafarers of all nations, regardless of race or creed. The local mission covers Hartlepool and North Tees, centred on the purpose-built mission at Seal Sands. Stranton has a close relationship with the mission and several of the congregation work as volunteers there. |
 Stranton is a Fair Trade Parish. This means that the tea and coffee we serve is fairly-traded, that we promote the use of fair trade products, to help ensure that producers in the developing world get a fair price for their goods. Every month, there is a fair trade stall run by volunteers in church, selling food and other items. Contact: Diana Wanduragala 01429 223751 |
| Overseas Missionaries | The Kilimatinde Trust | Hartlepool Food Bank |
 Stranton has historically been strongly committed to supporting the work of sharing the good news of Jesus overseas. The church prays regularly for overseas mission, and gives a substantial amount each year to mission agencies. We are linked with a number of particular mission partners: Tony and Katherine Paton (Church Missionary Society) - South East Asia Grace and Festo Kanungha (Church Missionary Society) - Kilimatinde, Tanzania Andy and Rose Roberts (Church Missionary Society) - Olinda, Brazil |
 The parish also has close links with The Kilimatinde Trust, set up to provide support in terms of funding and expertise to the Diocese of the Rift Valley in Tanzania. A number of the congregation have spent time in Tanzania helping with different development projects. Contact: Jill Barrett 07790 110086 Website: The Kilimatinde Trust |
