SUCCESS STORIES

Mortgage and Deposit

£246,000

Raised

£284,000

Neil and Cheryl lead the work at their church in South Croydon, with Neil overseeing all church activities and Cheryl overseeing the children’s work, they are a family devoted to caring for people in their church and in their area.

Neil and Cheryl approached Mission Housing in May 2025, desiring to purchase and put down roots in the area they serve, but they had to raise their deposit and a mortgage, and move out of their rented property. It was a privilege to watch how friends, family and supporters stepped in to give donations towards their deposit. This has truly been a collaborative and inspirational campaign.

An existing Mission Housing property’s tenant was looking to downsize, and it was in the perfect area, so Neil and Cheryl were able to part buy the property from Mission Housing and they moved in at the beginning of February 2026.

Mission Housing works in a very bespoke way with our associates and future shared owners, so we can be creative with housing solutions and outcomes!

“We’re so excited and full of thanks to God and to Mission Housing! I can't believe how it's all come together.”

“We were feeling hopeless and almost completely resigned to having to leave London. Before working with Mission Housing, housing was a worry and a distraction from the work of ministry. I'm so thankful we will get to stay and continue to serve God, Jubilee, and Croydon, and to continue to partner with great churches and organisations, like Mission Housing, to see Jesus's name made known and hearts turned to him, as we share His good news.”
