Street Level Bus Ministry

Street Level is the name of the project centered around our refurbished bus that we used to extend a helping hand towards the young, the old, the vulnerable, the marginalized in society and those who found themselves homeless on the street.
The bus was a converted Leyland Daf Mobile Library vehicle that had been especially modified to accommodate our outreach within the local community. The interior was predominantly designed, fabricated and fitted by a local artist John Banks and also volunteers from the Water’s Edge Church with AMEC carrying out the professional paint and bodywork to a high standard.

The flexibility in the design allowed us to use the bus as a means of support for disadvantaged children and youth on local housing estates, the homeless, and community fun events.

The Water’s Edge congregation supported the Routes to Roots ministry to the Homeless in Poole for 12 years. We provided a ‘banqueting table’ of food, haircuts, clothing, sleeping bags and prayer for those  special people who we met under the flyover of ‘Hunger Hill.’
