Together Liverpool is a charity working to create a fairer, kinder world through our Network of Kindness.
We support faith and community groups across the Diocese of Liverpool area to take their next step in tackling poverty and injustice in their communities.
We do this by providing workshops, training, events, networking opportunities, and resources to help develop social action projects addressing key challenges.
These include food and financial insecurity, modern slavery, displaced people, children and young people, housing and land, environmental causes, mental health, and social isolation.
