Work with Dave! Support with enterprise

St Martin-in-the-Fields received a grant from the Archbishops Council's 'Strategic Development Funding' to support the development of HeartEdge. The award for £275k enables HeartEdge to develop and resource its growing network of partner churches funding resources to be developed for each of the 4 Cs (compassion, culture, commerce and congregation). These will be used by partner churches to develop their mission. A development team of four experienced practitioners will also be appointed to work with churches to develop and build dynamic, relevant activity related to the 4 Cs.

Work with Dave!

We're pleased Dave Nicholson - with a background in cooperatives and helping establish Food Pantries in the UK - has joined HeartEdge as the first member of the development team. Needing help and support with going commercial, setting up a business, or developing enterprise? Drop a line to Dave here.
