We’re a national charity working across England with local partners who are committed to serving and strengthening the community where they live.

We equip churches and community groups to build knowledge, confidence and connection.

For nearly 40 years CUF has mobilised people, churches and whole communities to tackle the interlinked challenges of poverty of identity, resources and relationships, and to make a positive difference. This work is founded on the belief that local people know their communities best, and that local skills and knowledge are the key to building communities where material needs are met and everyone feels connected, valued and loved.
