Compassionate Communities is part of the Diocese of London.
We exist to support & equip every church across the Diocese in serving their communities compassionately: the practical love of God in action.
Churches across the Diocese offer over 1,500 ministries of compassion to the communities they are part of: works of service and of acts of justice, for every Londoner to encounter the Love of God in Christ.
