Church Community Value toolkit

The Church Community Value toolkit is a way for churches to calculate their financial contribution to the community, and demonstrate their distinctiveness.

The toolkit has been developed by the Church Urban Fund in conjunction with the Commission on Urban Life and Faith and the Churches Regional Commission for Yorkshire and the Humber.

You can use the toolkit to:

  • Provide evidence to support a grant application
  • Help negotiations with a Local Authority, Local Strategic Partnership, or Primary Care Trust.
  • Identify changes and developments over a period of time.

Different versions have been developed to reflect the different financial arrangements of different denominations. Currently the Church of England, Baptist and Methodist versions are available.

To download these tools you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer or you can download Adobe Reader now (this link will open in a new window).
