LOAF Project was established 30 years ago by Christian business people and leaders of churches across Hastings and St Leonards from most denominations to allow the churches to do something significant each year for the needs of those living in the poorest parts of the world.

Over the years, LOAF Project has had a significant impact on the attitude of civic leaders and others in the community towards the church and increasingly more secular elements of the local community have participated until now it is truly a town-wide movement.

A force for good in the community Over the years LOAF Project has raised over £250,000 and sparked off several other town-wide initiatives. In recent years, GRAPEVINE magazine, produced by LOAF, has been a major instrument in linking churches together and informing the public about what God is doing.
