I’m a church
If you’re a church, we’d love to partner with you
We support churches with the expertise and resources to be highly impactful centres of social transformation in cities and neighbourhoods nationwide and would love to partner with you.
Churches across the UK do remarkable work to support those in need in their communities, whether that’s a small congregation offering phone calls to isolated and lonely people in the neighbourhood, or a group of local churches collaborating to provide debt advice and employment training. Each local expression of love for our neighbour is significant, and Love Your Neighbour represents that national mosaic of diverse local church activity.
Joining up with Love Your Neighbour means:
Committing to serve your local community in whatever ways your church can.
You will be invited to join national campaigns such as Love Christmas.
You will be invited to connect with other Love Your Neighbour churches in your area, to explore partnering together.
You will have access to branding and resources, to help identify your activities as part of Love Your Neighbour’s unified national voice.
