Church Urban Fund

Church Urban Fund is a charitable organisation set up by the Church of England in 1987 designed to assist in deprived and impoverished areas of the country. Operating in partnership with faith organisations working at the local level, the charity aims to provide a range of support to help these groups to serve their communities.
Origins.
The Church Urban Fund was one of the legacies of the controversial "Faith in the City" report, produced by the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on Urban Priority Areas in 1985.
Evolution.
The Church Urban Fund went through a period of significant change between 2012-2015. The organisation moved from being primarily a grant giving organisation into being a development agency that is working through the Church of England's Diocesan network to offer support to local communities through the Together Network.
