Mapping Our Communities
Together Liverpool is mapping the faith-based social action churches and their partners provide in communities across the Diocese of Liverpool area.
The Network of Kindness team is working with churches in each deanery to map the activities they tell us they are involved in.
This is helping build a dynamic picture of church projects helping make a bigger difference across our diocese - from food pantries, warm hubs and debt support, to asylum support, children's activities, craft groups, and community gardens.
Work is underway to map all 14 deaneries. Click the links to explore maps so far created with churches in:
The aim is to create a tool for churches to help visualise what’s happening in their area; connect with each other to share ideas and expertise; signpost local people to nearby group, and pray about each other’s work.
The maps help identify where there may be gaps meeting needs in a community, as we work with churches to develop existing social action activities, and launch new projects through our Learning Communities programme.
Activities are categorised according to the main area of social injustice they aim to address including: Food Insecurity, Financial Insecurity, Social Isolation, Displaced People, Mental Health, Housing and Land, Environment, Modern Slavery, Housing and Land.
All churches that have taken part in the mapping are invited to Join the Network of Kindness. Read more about our current Learning Communities launched in Sefton North and Huyton deaneries here.
