Community Survey Coffee Morning

Posted on by

10th October 2015, 10 – 11:30am

Our church and halls are open next Saturday morning for coffee and biscuits. Come and explore our building, enjoy some refreshments and find out who has won the draw from our Community Survey (Draw prize is tea at Betty’s!)

It would be helpful if you can let us know you’re coming on our Facebook event:

All welcome, feel free to bring a friend! No charge will be made.

It’s not too late to complete the survey if you haven’t already done so.

 

 

 

Our community survey starts now!

The Transforming Central Community Survey is now live. You can contribute to our future by giving us a few moments of your time. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter feeds for events and happenings over the next month.

The Transforming Central Community Survey has five objectives:

  1. Deepen the Churches understanding of the local community
  2. Ensure any potential projects will meet real needs
  3. Create a sense of local ownership and participation
  4. Avoid unnecessary duplication of provision
  5. Give local people a say in the future of their community

Also the research will also help the Church to deliver mission whilst engaging the community through the project. It will also enable the Church to set clear goals for their mission and ministry and gain a credible understanding of the area in terms of needs and opportunities.

Community Survey

Posted on by

We’re very pleased to be commissioning Deacon Ian Cartwright of Imagine Projects to undertake a survey of community needs in the Guildhall Ward.

This research will:

  • Give local people a say in the future of their community
  • Avoid unnecessary duplication of provision
  • Deepen the Churches understanding of the local community
  • Ensure any potential projects will meet real needs
  • Create a sense of local ownership and participation

The research will also help the Church to deliver mission whilst engaging the community through the project. The project will also enable the Church to set clear goals for their mission and ministry and gain a credible understanding of the area in terms of needs and opportunities.

So far there’s been a Project inception meeting, some Desktop research and last week say the first Stakeholder focus group. To follow will be some Community engagement, Market testing focus groups, a Final debrief and then the Implementation.

The most visible part of this process will be a survey to all homes and businesses in our locality.

We’re very much looking forward to the results of this work to inform the rest of our Transforming Central project.
