Our support includes children, young people, families, the elderly, the unemployed, and anyone in emergency need. We aim to support any emergency helping people to get back on their feet gaining empowerment regardless of background, individual circumstances, and experience. This covers a diverse range of people. We must signpost many in this process. We have developed excellent working relationships with the local council and other charitable organisations and churches.
Eternal Benefits provides services and activities which help the most complex and hardest to reach residents in the estates of Hull develop stability, integration, life skills and aspirations. We work in areas of abject deprivation particularly with children, young people and the elderly. We help over 150 people each week, including families living on benefits, long term unemployed, asylum seekers and refugees, homeless people, ex-offenders and those struggling with drug problems and mental health issues. Some of these will be children and young people living in abusive homes to elderly living in poverty due to isolation.
The history of RESPECT and Eternal Benefits is very much tied into the lives of Ian and Lynn Warelow. Their lives were transformed in 1980 after being told about God’s love for them and felt a very definite call from God to reach their own kind. This was the foundational word from God and has brought everything else into being.
Our vision is to see God given transformation for the people in the estates of Hull, from chaos, isolation and hopelessness to stability, community and fullness of life.
