Community Development

The Working Communities Partnership

The WCP was formed in 1996 from a nucleus of Shoebury community organisations,Shoebury businesses, Borough and County representatives, initially to attempt to gain badly needed funds and support from a Government Single Regeneration Bid.

The result of the surveys, opinion gatherings and plans that went into that was a grant from Central Government of UKP 800,000 with an expectation of a total spend, including matched funding, over seven years of UKP 4,000,000.

This initiative has brought together groups of people who will carry on with a corporate effort to improve and rebuild the Shoebury community, its businesses, its educational and living standards, and its future prospects into the 21st century.

Missionary Giving

The parish puts aside 10% of Sunday Giving for missionary work.
