Our portfolio evolves in response to times of crisis and includes migration and refugees, social issues of debt, hunger, homelessness, modern slavery and exploitation, the rehabilitation of ex-offenders and rural justice. A main focus of our work is around environmental issues and ensuring the church is a key player in meeting government targets. We re-imagine church and ministry with our pioneering Ignite projects which are attended by many struggling with poverty and addiction. We build partnerships with many non-church organisations across the UK, Europe and as far as Madagascar in order to enrich our communities, share the Gospel and build the kingdom of God. The Team has a range of expertise, as well as being linked into a wider network of diverse, knowledgeable and passionate people.
