welcome

  • The Faith-based Regeneration Network UK (FbRN) is the leading multi faith network for community development, community regeneration and social action.

    FbRN brings together practitioners for sharing ideas and good practice, to encourage each other and to enable them to link with the makers of public policy.

    The network acts as a means of communication between practitioners and those who make and implement public policy.

    Set up in 2002, FbRN reaches faith based organisations operating in communities, and is a key partner for government, and voluntary and community organisations, at national policy level.

Practical Spirit

Interactive project development for
faith based organisations involved in social action

This resource offers you the opportunity to learn with community practitioners inspired by their personal faith, and committed to the faith values of the projects they run. 

Practical Spirit provides insight into ten different aspects of managing a community project ranging from understanding the community to evaluating the work. It shows how faith values underpin all the practical elements necessary for project sustainability. The resource comes in two parts: as videos and a booklet.

 Click here to watch the videos and to order or download the booklet.

"The book is great - very clear, practical and easy to read.  I like the reader reflection questions, and I hope they have been helping organisations to stop and think about their own practices." Charity Solicitor
