We are here to proclaim and celebrate the love of God for all; live the values of the gospel; and encourage spiritual nourishment through prayer, worship and fellowship.

The primary focus of the Giving and Generosity Advisor is to work with parishes to: - Understand their current financial situation and how this links to the wider Church of England Birmingham situation. - Understand our model and how support is on offer for parishes who are economically deprived. - Assess with them the support needed to increase generosity and giving at a local level and create an action plan around this that is bespoke and contextual. - Create a long-term plan for their participation in the common fund.
