Impact Report 2025: Building a Justice-Shaped Future Together
40 years after the publication of Faith in the City, the landmark report that sparked Church Urban Fund, we're still here, bringing hope, justice and love to some of our most challenged communities and situations.
2025 was a year of polarised political debate, of protest and deepening poverty.
But in this impact report of our work, you’ll find a different story. The Good News of Jesus Christ, in which love is the key motivator.
You'll see how, with your support and our resources, churches and community groups are growing in knowledge, confidence and connection, serving their neighbours and building a movement of love, justice and mercy.
With your support, we continue to tackle complex challenges like poverty and exclusion across England by mobilising people, churches, and whole communities to make a positive difference. Thank you.
Behind every number is a real person, a story, and a community in need
