Great if you are providing services - although my political instincts are that the state should be doing this sort of work, to keep it in the secular sphere, I accept that the current psycho-sociopolitical and economic atmosphere make this unlikely, and someone has to do it.

However, I would be a little concerned. While it is obviously your right to publicise the fact that you are a church group, you're talking about serving the whole community in ways that would entail a wider responsibility to be tolerant and respectful. I am sure you intend to be so, but would be reassured if you are able make any promises to avoid evangelising to those who use your drop in, not to plaster the walls with overtly religious posters/messages, and to keep the focus on doing good works for your own salvation, rather than conversion of those using the services?

Nothing personal, I'm sure you have the best intentions. I hope you can understand my position.
