Together Liverpool

What Together Liverpool does

Together Liverpool is a registered charity (Charity No: 1151977) and private company limited by guarantee (Company No: 8190148), founded in 2013 and headquartered in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The organisation operates the Network of Kindness, a free membership network supporting individuals, faith groups, churches, charities, and non-faith community groups to take their next step in social action across the 14 deaneries of the Diocese of Liverpool (covering Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Halton, Warrington, Wigan, and West Lancashire). Together Liverpool is the Liverpool regional expression of the Together Network, which is convened by the Church Urban Fund; it is governed by a Board of Trustees chaired by Rev Canon Dr Ellen Loudon and led operationally by Executive Director Rev James Green.

The organisation delivers its mission through a portfolio of programmes rather than a single technology product. Core offerings include the Network of Kindness membership (free access to workshops, events, resources, and peer networking), Learning Communities (a four-session structured programme that helps faith groups develop or launch social action projects within a deanery), Feast of Fun micro-grants of £50–£500 (distributed in partnership with Meals & More to tackle school holiday hunger), a calendar of workshops and training on topics such as dementia awareness, trauma-informed practice, and the Radical Welcome inclusivity course, and the Faith in the City / Manifesto for Hope advocacy programme marking the 40th anniversary of the 1985 Faith in the City report. A Digital Impact Reporting Tool and a Community Mapping Tool are in development or deployment to support impact measurement and visualisation of faith-based social action projects across deaneries.

Together Liverpool is primarily grant-funded. Reported revenue streams include institutional grant funding from the National Lottery Communities Fund (a three-year grant secured in October 2024 to grow the Network of Kindness), historical New Deal funding of £1.3 million (August 2022) for engagement in 'left behind' communities, voluntary donations including Parish Giving, and sub-grant outflows via the Feast of Fun programme. The organisation has approximately 5 employees plus named development officers, with reported operational outputs including 454 mapped projects, 14,228 Feast of Fun meals, 93 workshops and events, 30+ new social action projects, and 90+ groups trained in impact assessment. Together Liverpool is not a technology company and does not currently employ AI/ML capabilities in its core operations.
