Mission:

Several social responsibility programmes are undertaken:

• Netherlee Cottage is a home provided for six women, formerly patients at Mulleriyawa.

• Ward 19 at Mulleriyawa Mental Hospital cares for women. A monthly visit is made with activities and food provided. Gifts of clothing and personal items are made. Outings from the ward are arranged and a contribution is made to its upkeep. 

• Netherlee Scout Group meets in the Church grounds on Saturday afternoon. It caters for boys of Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian backgrounds.

• Rural development is provided through “Neighbours in Need” outreach programme Projects to date have included preschool education, wells, toilets and primary health care in several rural communities.

• A Thrift Shop is operated weekly in the Church Hall, providing an opportunity for goods to be recycled. An annual Bazaar in November is an extension to this fund-raising activity. These are managed by the St. Andrew’s Fellowship.
