At Church Urban Fund, we understand poverty is more than a lack of material resources. It's also the absence of strong, supportive relationships and a sense of community. Our goal is to address these multifaceted challenges, providing not just material aid but also nurturing connections that empower individuals and communities.

By donating this Christmas, you could help us continue to support people and churches across England, working together to change lives. Read these inspiring stories to find out how.
