Resources to Support Churches, Communities and Social Action
Welcome to our resources page, where you’ll find a growing collection of practical tools, guides, and information to support you. We’ve developed a number of our own resources based on our experience and the needs of our communities in the North East, designed to be clear, accessible, and easy to use. Alongside these, we’ve also brought together high-quality resources from trusted partner organisations, giving you access to wider expertise and support. All resources are free to download, and we hope they help inform, empower, and make a positive difference.

Holiday Clubs ‘How to Guide’
