The Urban Network brings together those who wish to be involved in the
Church’s work with poor communities in our inner-cities and outer estates. As
individuals, agencies and groups, we are committed to: supporting local people in acting together for the common good and raising issues of public policy relevant to urban communities.
The forum meets two or three times a year and occasionally organise other initiatives (eg residential retreats).
We keep in touch through personal contact and email.
Membership and full participation in the Network is open to all without cost, and where we can we reimburse travel expenses for those who have no other way of funding their involvement.
We see ourselves within the tradition of Catholic Social Teaching and of Faith in the City and Faithful Cities.
