Situation
Currently there are deep-seated issues in the heart of our society. Communities across the UK and Ireland are struggling with: • social isolation, including amongst the elderly • a lack of support for families, especially when family life breaks down • mental health, addictions and a range of complex other well-being challenges • social, economic and other forms of deprivation • dissatisfaction and unrest amongst younger people • insufficient resources including facilities and human resources
Solution
Public services and the State are not in a position to help many. However, CPAS has national scope and presence which supports men, women and children in thousands of church communities throughout the UK & Ireland. We deliver community-focused training in a variety of forms to church leaders, teams and congregations through tailored events around the country. Ventures, Falcons and School Ventures provide opportunities for children of all faiths and none to enjoy fun activities and education.
