Growing from the Jesus Army's work among homeless street people, those involved in drug or alcohol abuse, and prisoners and ex-prisoners,<ref>Barrett, p.228</ref> the Jesus Army/Jesus Fellowship founded a charitable trust "to develop and enhance its existing work with many disadvantaged groups and individuals",<ref>{{Cite web | title=Jesus Centres Trust {{!}} Jesus Centres | work=Jesus Centres | access-date=17 May 2019 | url=https://jesuscentre.org.uk/about-jesus-centres/jesus-centres-trust/ | archive-date=17 May 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190517222334/https://jesuscentre.org.uk/about-jesus-centres/jesus-centres-trust/ | url-status=dead }}</ref> largely through the founding and running of "Jesus Centres" in UK cities and towns.<ref name=charity-1165925/>

In 2002, the Jesus Fellowship opened the Coventry Jesus Centre including a Drop-In Centre known as "The Bridge", which provided services such as a subsidised breakfast, free clothing, showers and hot drinks, as well as [[social support]], job training and providing medical help to vulnerable people. The centre also assisted in finding rented accommodation for the homeless, though a major emphasis of these activities was evangelistic, "bringing people to Jesus".<ref>Stephen J.
