Overview
Run with the support of the Marsh Christian Trust, the Awards are designed to show the positive impact that installing new facilities has on churches and local communities and on harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of volunteers
Eligibility
The awards are open to any Christian congregation in the UK which is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and which has seen the installation of new facilities since 2012.
Criteria
Key criteria the judges will be looking for:
- Impact – the level of demonstrable social benefit.
- Best practice in management – the level of planning, organization, effort and coordination within the means and circumstances of the project organisers.
- Imagination – the origin of the idea and reasons for the project.
- how well the activity meets the needs of its local community. They are particuarly interested in how deprived or marginalised communities are served.
