Everyone's invited to the table
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. Acts 2:46-47
This Harvest, help us build stronger and more loving communities
This year CUF is inviting churches to make a donation to our work, either through a collection at a Harvest Sunday service, or by holding a shared lunch or other fundraising activity.
We’ve provided a number of different resources to help you introduce the work of CUF to your congregation, pray for the work we support and engage even the youngest members of your congregation.
Take a Harvest service collection
Donate to help tackle poverty and exclusion; for collection envelopes, call 0203 752 5655 or email kelly.jones@cuf.org.uk
Prayers and reflections
Use our prayer resources to foster hope for building compassionate and hospitable communities.

Set up a Just Giving page
Just Giving is a platform that lets you fundraise online – it’s easy to set up.
Each week over 22,000 children and adults share meals, hopes, and good company in Church Urban Fund-supported community spaces. But too many lonely people still have no-one with whom to break bread, and too many families struggle to buy food. We won’t stop until everyone is invited to the table.
