£10,000 to be awarded to UK churches’ best community project 09/04/03

Faithworks and Spring Harvest are pleased to announce that they are to award £10,000 to a project that is inspired by Christian faith and is demonstrating best practice in community development. The Faithworks Award 2003 will consist of a development grant from the Spring Harvest Charitable Trust and ongoing strategic support and resources from Faithworks Consultancy. The money will be raised from generous donations made by guests at this year’s Spring Harvest festival. Through the award, Faithworks hopes to promote awareness of the excellent community work currently being done by over 144,000 Church-based projects in the UK1, and inspire further Christian social activism in the country.

Faithworks is seeking to award the project that is providing holistic community development.

The £10,000 grant will provide the recipient project with funding that will allow it to further develop its impact in the local community. Applications are welcome from any project in the UK inspired by Christian faith that can demonstrate that it is working towards meeting the judging criteria. A panel made up of representatives from the Faithworks Movement, Spring Harvest and local government agencies will select the winning project from a short-list of ten projects, with the judges’ decision being announced at the Faithworks Conference taking place in Eastbourne from October 10th-12th. A senior political figure will present the Award at a prestigious ceremony due to be held in the Palace of Westminster.

"Faithworks is excited that Spring Harvest is sponsoring this substantial award which will not only give one Christian project a real boost in its work in the local community, but also do much to reinforce the vital message that biblical Christianity is always about intimacy with God and involvement in the community."

Steve Chalke
