The whole of England is covered by parishes - clergy are resident in every area. Churches are symbols of unity and resources, church schools are increasing in popularity and clergy are natural independent people to chair key bodies at all levels.
The Diocese of Liverpool has a great track record in this field. The Resources Department has a uniquely broad experience of supporting parishes in what are traditionally called Urban Priority Areas, but in Liverpool we have a special category called Designated Priority Areas.
The Resources Department have developed a major section of this website, called ACTS about developing and sustaining church based community projects.
The Resources Department also has a key role in relation to churches and projects seeking support from the Church Urban Fund.
There is an amazing number of other links detailed here which we hope will not just assist you but also give you an idea of the people and agencies who can help.
