Our Vision
Our vision is a just, equal, and generous society where everyone can live life to the full, free from poverty and injustice. We focus on supporting the most marginalised and empowering communities to thrive through kindness, generosity, and unconditional acts of love.
Kindness isn’t just ‘added value’ for us—it’s at the heart of everything we do. Through kindness, we promote justice and peace, connecting with each other in meaningful ways.
Whilst our roots lie within the Church of England, we work ecumenically to support faith, community and charitable partners working towards this vision—for the benefit of people of all faiths and none.
Our Mission
Our mission is to see an kinder, more just and generous world, through building a Network of Kindness. This means:
We listen to and amplify the voices of others, particularly those with experience of the areas of social justice we are championing.
We connect and network people, churches, and organisations to work together to achieve our vision.
We live out our values, building partnerships and rooted the love of Jesus.
We facilitate and equip the work of others providing practical support and promoting best practice models where invited to do so.
We celebrate, inspire and encourage social action through storytelling, and share what we learn generously. We use what we have learned to influence public policy and culture change working together to transform the structures and mindsets that perpetuate injustice.
Our Values
Our core values are:
- Kindness
- Generosity
- Unconditional acts of love
Through these values we promote justice and show peace to others.
Our Focus Areas
Our operational work focuses on four key areas:
Listening
We believe that the people who understand what is needed to address injustice are those who have experienced it for themselves. We want to listen and amplify the voices of those in our communities.
Connecting
Faithful ministries have been established over many years across the Diocese of Liverpool. We will intentionally connect people together to listen to, learn from and inspire one another.
Equipping
We develop capacity and confidence in local communities, enabling churches and others to respond to local opportunities and to shape a more just and equal system.
Influencing
We seek to shape the public sphere through cultural and system changes, working towards addressing the root causes of poverty and disadvantage.
