The Church and Community Fund (CCF) has announced new themes for 2012. It aims to develop ways for the Church of England to engage with the whole community, help transform areas of greatest need and grow spiritually and numerically.

The grant will support national or local projects which fit the following themes:
• Significantly expand the Church's engagement with neighbourhood renewal
• Seek innovative ways of developing established community projects so that they either a) grow existing or b) evolve into new communities of Christian Faith
• Replicate models of successful community engagement across the wider church.
These replace the priorities of the previous CCF scheme, which closed to applications on the 14 October 2011. They will start to accept new applications based on the new themes from the 3 January 2012.

A new set of guidance notes will be available shortly.

Deadline: none announced
