Convened by Church Urban Fund, the Network exists because we believe lasting change cannot be achieved alone. Across different places, traditions and areas of work, our Partners share a commitment to love, justice and mercy, and to seeing people and communities flourish. Together, we learn from one another, strengthen local social action, amplify grassroots voices and build a collective Christian response to poverty. ## Interested in becoming part of the Together Network?

The Together Network is a growing community of Christian organisations committed to social action and justice. Our Partners work in different ways and in different contexts. Some are rooted in a particular diocese, region or place. Others work nationally on issues such as poverty, debt, homelessness, family support, loneliness, community organising, mental health, migration and asylum, children and young people, older people, and food insecurity. What unites us is a shared conviction: that churches and Christian organisations have a vital role to play in responding to poverty, building community and seeking justice. The Network is not a programme to deliver, or a membership badge to display. It is a relational space where Partners can connect, share, learn, collaborate and speak together. “Lasting change cannot be achieved alone. Relationships and partnerships are essential.” Together Network Covenant --- ## Who is part of the Network?

Partners bring different perspectives, gifts and experience, from deep local knowledge to national expertise, from practical delivery to theological reflection, and from community organising to policy insight. ![A group of people from the Together Network catch up outside, at a Gathering of Together Network Partners.](https://cuf.org.uk/assets/images/_800x450_crop_center-center_82_none/Tn-Gathering-laughter.jpg?v=1786372478) --- ## Why join? Many Christian organisations are doing vital work in their own places and fields. But the challenges facing our communities are complex, and none of us has the full picture alone. By becoming a Together Network Partner, you join a national movement of organisations asking similar questions, facing similar pressures and seeking the same hope-filled change. As a Partner, you can: - Connect with others doing similar work. Meet people who understand the joys and challenges of Christian social action, from local delivery to national influencing. - Learn and share practical wisdom. Access shared learning, peer support, resources, conversations and examples from across the Network. - Strengthen your own work. Bring insights back into your organisation, deepen your practice and learn from what is working in different places. - Contribute to a collective voice. Help shape a stronger shared voice on poverty, justice and the role of the Church in public life. - Be part of something bigger. Join a Covenant-shaped Network rooted in relationship, generosity, mutual encouragement and shared commitment. --- ## What does joining involve? We know organisations are busy and time is precious, so being part of the Together Network is designed to be useful, relational and proportionate. As a Partner, you may be invited to: - join online or in-person Network gatherings - take part in peer learning and shared conversations - contribute stories, insights or examples from your work - share resources or learning with other Partners - help shape collective themes, priorities and public voice There is no expectation that every Partner engages with everything. The aim is to create meaningful ways to connect, contribute and benefit that fit your organisation’s context. ![Two people talk during a Together Network Conference.](https://cuf.org.uk/assets/images/_800x450_crop_center-center_82_none/covenant7.jpg?v=1786372355) --- ## How to join If your organisation is interested in becoming part of the Together Network, we would love to hear from you.
