The Good Shepherd Centre

“Every penny wasted or lost reduces the pot available to the charity.” - Albert Gubay. 

We are based in Keighley, the most deprived area of Bradford District Council. Covid 19 is affecting households in many ways, including job loss, loss of remittances, higher prices, rationing of food and other basic goods, and disruptions to health care services and education. People feel depressed, suffer with anxieties, finding it hard to survive due to financial hardship.

In June 2020 The Centre has been fortunate to receive a grant of £19.5K from The Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation to help with supporting needy families.

Thanks to The Albert Gubay Grant we have supported couple hundred families by providing food,  food vouchers, clothing, furniturr, hot food and  providing 1-1 support.

 This grant has allowed us to carry out such a needy work. We supported families going through difficult times related to C

 We have a secure booking system which allows people to still access our services. We also registered our Centre as a Learning Provider Centre which allows us to provide classes for our students.  Various trainings and meetings were organized via zoom or google meet system which previously never been used. We responded to more referrals from Children Services Departments, Family First, or from local schools. 

 Our life-changing work would not be possible without the financial support of grant-making organisations like The Albert Gubay Charitable Fundation.
