Information On Betel:-
In 1985, eleven years before
opening in Britain, Betel (Spanish for Bethel) received its first
destitute men and women off the streets of Madrid. Since that time
some 65,000 homeless, substance abusers and socially disadvantaged
have been helped throughout Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, France,
Asia, Mexico, USA, Russia, Greece, Bulgaria and the UK. Betel residences
host more than 1,300 recovering men and women in 50 cities.
Betel of Britain is a caring,
not-for-profit Christian community in the heart of the UK dedicated
to restoring homeless and substance-dependent people to productive,
independent lifestyles. Our residences are drug- and alcohol-free
as well as free of charge. We offer at all times the opportunity
of restoration to all persons who seek help.
Betel opened its first British
base outside Birmingham in 1996 at Windmill House, owned by the
Bournville Village Trust. Additional residences followed, and we've
now opened our second UK centre at Manna Farm, near Nottingham.
Vision for UK Expansion:-
"Derby buildings"
Homelessness and substance
abuse continue to escalate in the UK. In keeping with our pattern
of growth in Spain and other nations, Betel is committed to expanding
into every major city in the UK and Ireland as properties and/or
funding become available.
