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.
Our local churches across London offer over 1,500 ministries of compassion to the communities they are part of. Works of service and of acts of justice.
Our key themes of work are below, or get in touch with us here.
A 20 minute masterclass from Will Van Der Hart on why it’s completely normal if you are feeling anxiety, having lived through a global pandemic, and some helpful practical ideas on how to deal with it.
Flo Wright, from The Young Christian Climate Network explains why the relay they are organising to COP 26 is both urgent and hopeful, and calls us all to get involved too.
We’re hiring two part time development workers! Is one of them you? More details and information about how to apply here. Deadline is 18th July and we’d love to encourage a diverse pool of applications so please do share.
Our first bi-monthly housing prayer bulletin is out now! Pray with us about the housing crisis affecting so many in our city. We are praying for Bishop Guli as she starts as Bishop for Housing, and for those caught in the cladding scandal.
Together with Music is a virtual, intergenerational programme that connects schools, community groups and creatives to their local care homes and older people through music.
Churches have responded to homelessness for decades: this article from Housing Justice challenges how we do that and whether we can work for longer term prevention
