IMAGINE THE DAY LIMITED

The Charity's activity is that of the promotion and advancement of the Christian religion, the worship of God and the spreading of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the UK and overseas.Specifically the Charity runs the Lions Programme which provides training for Christian Entrepreneurs and Big Sing Soul which provides choral support for schools, prisons and related disadvantaged groups.
