How to build strong communities
Map strengths, challenges and local connections
Every community has people, places and resources that make it special - as well as people who may need extra support. Neighbourhood mapping helps you discover what's happening in your local area, understand what matters to the people who live there, and identify where you could make a difference.
Where does your community need you most?
Our parish data and comparison tool shows need and deprivation right down to your local area, so you can see what is happening where you live and back your plans with evidence.
Stronger, more connected neighbourhoods
Our Near Neighbours programme brings people of different faiths and backgrounds together to build relationships of trust and act on what matters locally.
Fund hope where it's needed most
Every gift helps churches and communities across England keep meeting the needs around them. Whatever you give goes towards real, local change.
