CUF was established by the Church of England as a practical response to unmet need and has been active in local communities for over 30 years. We work through the Church of England’s local parish networks, and alongside other faith-based and secular organisations, to bring about positive change in neighbourhoods. We work by building trust, empowering local people to have a go at addressing the areas of greatest need in their communities, and speaking out against injustice. We are committed to working through relational partnerships which bring about long-term, sustainable change by mobilising local people to be the source of the change they want to see and to use the assets already available in their community.
