Soar is a network of individuals and families who are choosing to stand alongside community heroes, because we believe it is people not projects who challenge, inspire and lead others to change. Our community heroes are people who have seen a need in their own communities and have chosen to do something about it. Soar is a christian charity set up to refresh and refuel these community heroes.
