Harvest Appeal

This Harvest season, will you help churches create strong and loving communities?

Church Urban Fund is working with churches and community groups across England to put faith into action and create strong, loving communities.

Our Places of Welcome network equips churches to invite communities to come together, to work with their deep understanding of their local areas and provide support to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Every week, over 14,000 people are supported by Places of Welcome. But the need is still great.
