Our furniture store (Charles Thompson's Mission only) provides basic furnishings, kitchen equipment etc. to those who acquire permanent accommodation We have created separate male and female clothing stores to provide safety and dignity to all that use them Later it became the "Liverpool Town Mission" and eventually when Liverpool was given it's city status we became "Liverpool City Mission" In the early days of the Mission the "agents" would visit homes all over the city to read scripture and explain the way of salvation to those who were unable to find a home in the established churches of the day
