Do you come from any particular denomination?
No, we are independent of any Christian denomination. We are members of the UK Evangelical Alliance and our CEO attends many of the local Churches Together groups.
Do you only work with Christians?
No, our goal is to provide our services for anyone who is in need. And we are delighted to have volunteers on board of any faith or none.
What legal status does Faithworks have?
Faithworks is a charitable company limited by guarantee; so we are a charity registered with both the Charity Commission (charity no 1108714), and a company with Companies House (company no 5077777).
Are you part of a national organisation?
No, we were originally inspired by the Faithworks Charter put out by Oasis Charitable Trust that encouraged local churches to make a difference in their community. But the charity that was set up here was, and is, independent.
What geographical area do you cover?
We work in the Bournemouth-Christchurch-Poole (BCP) conurbation, and also support the Food Bank Plus operations in Wimborne and Blandford.
