Church leaders wanting to take advantage of a new Government policy encouraging local authorities to transfer unused buildings to community groups at a reduced price are being invited to attend a one day 'How To' seminar.
The Faith Action community organisation, which aims to "empower church leaders in community regeneration", has put together a team of experts to help churches make full use of this new resource.
On July 6 in central London, vicars and pastors will be taught how to find premises, how to get planning permission, how to put a premise's brief together, how to acquire & manage their own assets, and how to develop social capital out of your premises.
