Organisation description: Saint Philips Chapel Street hosts church led initiatives designed to demonstrate compassion through the provision of support to those who are experiencing homelessness or are vulnerably housed, women who are exploited through the sex work industry, people experiencing food insecurity and in need of crisis food aid, individuals who are going through a challenging time with their finances and need to access debt and/or welfare benefits advice, and young families who have lived experience of the challenges of a continuing cost-of-living crisis. We work with a number of external partners to add value to some of these endeavours.
We recognise the value of connection. We see connection through the church as an opportunity to build a sense of belonging, encourage personal and spiritual growth, promote civic engagement, and become resourced to extend the impact of our work beyond the church building into our communities, city, region and beyond.
The development of spaces for connection takes place within a network of small groups (connect groups) that are hosted in people’s homes, workplaces and community settings. Our growing children and young people’s work provides those 0-18 with the opportunity to connect to a caring community that is concerned with their nurture. Through Sunday worship gatherings, conferencing opportunities, and other developmental endeavours we connect those who are part of our community with the tools to play their part in engaging with our mission and vision.
Within the St Philips DNA is a commitment to innovation and creativity. The building is one of two that was designed by Sir Robert Smirke (the architect for the British Museum in London). Salford is characterised by creativity, entrepreneurialism and innovation, and this is baked into the fabric of the church. We seek to resource our commitment to creativity through the continued development of a collective approach to music creation; in acknowledging that the church building as a arts and heritage asset for the community, city, region, and beyond; and in the creation of opportunities for entrepreneurs to incubate initiatives that align with our determination to challenge and change the status quo around inequality and injustice.
