May 2010: Church Urban Fund National Conference
With Rev Peter Rouch and Liz Etherton, recorded during the Church Urban Fund National Conference held in Birmingham on 27 April.
The Church Urban Fund third annual National Conference saw over 250 community activists, practitioners and faith representatives meeting to share ideas and learn new skills. Peter and Liz lead two of the day’s nine workshops, Peter discussing how local projects can and should work alongside statutory agencies, and Liz giving advice about building strong and effective teams.
Becky Atkins from CUF caught up with them both to ask about the role of the Christian faith in community work, and how this presents opportunities and challenges.
You can find out more on the Conference webpage, where you can also download the PowerPoint presentations used by Peter and Liz in their workshops.
