About Us
Churches and other faith-based organisations play an important role in promoting community cohesion, social inclusion and a sense of belonging and community to those who feel or experience exclusion. Churches are very diverse in terms of their contribution to criminal justice issues and their engagement with the wider community. They are likewise very diverse in terms of their structure and size. Some are small, rather informal groups that rely heavily on local voluntary action; others are very large charities that meet social needs on a far bigger scale.
The need for churches to open up avenues for participation and to bring social issues to the center of the church's agenda is required now more than ever before. However, this should not overshadow the main vital function of the church to bring the gospel of good news. In fact part of the message of good news includes caring for those that society has discarded.
