Why the church is seeking partners
Some church land is not being used to its full potential. The church would like to change that, with partners who bring the right experience and share its concern for people and place.
Sustainable income
Steady, long-term income that supports the church’s life and work.
Local employment
Jobs and training for people in the parishes where the land is.
Community benefit
Projects that leave the surrounding community better served.
Careful stewardship
Uses that respect the land and keep it in good condition for the future.
Opportunities for discussion
Land the church is open to discussing with suitable partners.
