Social issues

Forum for Social and Community Concerns

We gather and communicate the wealth of information and resources available alongside receiving feedback from existing work. In addition we identify need, explore the bigger picture, and seek to make a difference through activity, dialogue, theological reflection, prayer, encouragement and resource allocation.  We work amoungst many Christian organisations both regionally and in partnership.
