Who We Are

Inspired by community spirit and the gift of giving, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) serves people with care and compassion in their time of need.

Help us make a difference

Established by the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) in 2013, RRT offers quality catering assistance and tangible support to charities, government and emergency services confronting some of humankind’s greatest challenges. 

Led by the Christian principles of care and compassion, our league of volunteers operate from the heart to serve people in need.

Being a Local Team Leader (LTL) for RRT is an amazing privilege and our team get to meet and serve some lovely people. Whether it is caring for a young person who is struggling with the realities of live, serving a tired, weary emergency services worker as they grab a break before re-joining the front line, providing for homeless folk who are just glad of a bit of warm food and the comfort of a ready ear and a smile or supporting those who are afflicted with ill health or disability, where every minute is a fight for survival, it is lovely to see a smile, share a bit of joy, see a flicker of relief on the faces of those we are serving knowing that this support is giving them a brief glimpse of hope, relief, warmth before the realities of day to day survival kick back in again.
