Community Engagement

Approaches to community engagement  
Mission Action Planning is now well established across the Diocese which will encourage Community Engagement as an integral part of Mission. 

Gareth Greenwood, Community Project Development Officer, can provide advice and support to you in the development of specific projects or initiatives.  Gareth also administers the new Building Community Fund

In-house training planned in the Learning in Faith and Discipleship Training. Also related events may get posted on Environment pages 'Whats Happening' section. Signposting to training beyond the diocese is at Training from outside organisations.
