We believe in the power of community to change lives
For nearly 40 years CUF has mobilised people, churches and whole communities to tackle complex challenges like poverty and exclusion, and to make a positive difference. This work is founded on the belief that local people know their communities best, and that local skills and knowledge are the key to building communities where material needs are met and everyone feels connected, valued and loved.
