rural churches for everyone
Working alongside Philippa during the Rural Churches for Everyone Project was a game changer: she’s an excellent communicator, and a real collaborator. I was confident that she had anticipated all the details and that I could rely on her to think considerately about our clients’ needs and make any necessary adjustments. She was knowledgeable, reflective and skilled, and good fun to work with too. I’d welcome the chance to work with her again.
– Yvonne Conchie, Consultant
I have extensive experience of working with historic churches to develop funding applications and activity programmes. Having acted as coordinator for the Repair Grants for Places of Worship in Scotland when working at NLHF, I went on to Project Manage Rural Churches for Everyone, an NLHF funded project delivered by the Church of England, Newcastle Diocese.
RCfE worked with 35 churches in deep rural Northumberland to develop collaborative Sustainability Plans to secure sustainable futures for church buildings. I was responsible for all elements of managing the project in order to deliver the expected outcomes and approved purposes agreed by the funder, National Lottery Heritage Fund. This included devising and delivering the programme of workshops and training for the project; supporting a diverse and disparate group of volunteers across 35 churches to participate and develop their own plans for their churches, taking a bottom up, community development inspired approach; working with a number of community development and heritage partners to build networks and support the churches; budget and risk management; reporting to the Project Board, Steering Group and funder; and coordinating the monitoring and evaluation for the project.
