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.
Our key Themes of Work are below, or get in touch with us here.
