If you want to help churches support those in need in their communities, you’ve come to the right place!
There are two ways we help local UK churches impact their communities – by developing Christian social action projects and supporting individual church leaders and volunteers. Together this is a powerful combination that brings transformation to the very heart of communities across the country.
Come and explore how we can support you.
Social Action Projects
Let us help your social action project grow and replicate in other locations. Access coaching, teaching, and support that’s been developed for organisations in the early stages of growth just like yours. We also have a huge network of brilliant projects that churches can use right now to respond to the needs in their communities.
Churches and Activists
If you want to transform your community, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve got everything you need to help your church develop brilliant community work –
from replicable projects and training for your team, to topical resources and practical tools. Come and explore!

Our Values
Jesus Centered
We look to Jesus as our inspiration and our guide. So, we start and end every meeting in prayer and take time to reflect and seek God as a team.
Helpful and Practical
Everything we do is focused on practically supporting churches and Christian Social Franchises. We always ask ourselves, “what difference will this make at grass-roots level?”
Creative and Expert
We work together as a diverse team to pool our resources, share our expertise and challenge ourselves to do things better.
Connecting People
We want to share what we’re doing with as many people as possible. We also acknowledge others who are doing excellent work to support churches and seek to partner with them to maximise our impact.
