We form strategic partnerships between churches, statutory agencies and voluntary groups for the benefit of the City.

Sunderland Connect Network is encouraging collaboration between the churches, statutory agencies and voluntary groups for the benefit of the city and local communities.

Working across the city of Sunderland (including Washington and the Coalfields), we are:

​

• facilitating networking groups

• raising awareness of support already being delivered by the Christian community

• linking otherwise disparate shared interest groups and individuals

​

We focus our efforts on areas where the church can contribute to the most pressing challenges facing Sunderland, our action areas.

​

We have seen that when the church and community come together it creates a relationship that produces real transformation.
