CCAST serves the areas of Easter Ross and Sutherland and is a small independent charity working with Christian motivation to provide a secular service to all faiths, genders and sexual orientations. The purpose of CCAST Highland is to assist vulnerable people who, through certain life circumstances are at risk of losing their homes, thus the Housing and Benefit advice CCAST provides is pivotal within the community. CCAST’s remit has widened to include Addiction Recovery programmes, employability programmes, manage the local Food Bank and run a local Hub on the Mansfield Estate.

In 2018, Searchlight Scotland was founded with a mandate to fully restore those with a history of vulnerability and exploitation. We began with a single home to help women with life controlling issues and shortly after welcomed our first survivor of Modern Slavery. Since then it has been a breathtaking leap into the underbelly of British Society. Caring for some of the most vulnerable and exploited men, women and children in the country, Searchlight provide care for women with life controlling issues, with future plans to become part of the support network for the care of survivors of Modern Slavery in Scotland.

Mark and Zoe Penman have both had a burden for the nation of Scotland and received the call of God to plant churches in Scotland since the beginning of their salvation walk.
