to the Jubilee+ website
Jubilee+ is a team set up by the Newfrontiers churches in the UK. Our aim to equip churches to engage more effectively with our communities and, particularly, to help them increase their capacity to serve the poor. You can read about our Vision here.
We are involved in a wide range of projects and initiatives to achieve these goals. We train leaders, provide resources, bring encouragement, establish networks, do research, develop relationships with partner organizations and run conferences.
This website is one of our key resources and we hope you find it helpful.
One of our hopes is that we will also be an encouragement to other churches outside our network as we, together, seek to enable the church to be highly effective in its integrated mission to preach Christ and demonstrate his love for our communities.
If you want to be in touch with our team please do so through the Contact Us page
Thanks for visiting our site.

RESEARCH
Churches in the UK are responding significantly to the social challenges in their local communities
December 2012
Hours spent by volunteers in UK Churches on local social action initiatives have increased by 36% in two years to 98M hours.
In spite of the current economic problems, funds given by UK Church members that were spent on social action initiatives have increased by 19% in two years to £342M.
There has been a rapid diversification by churches - the average number of social action initiatives undertaken by a Church has risen from 5.7 to 8.2.
Staff time is calculated as 55M hours in support of social action initiatives. This is equivalent to roughly 1 hour of staff time to 2 hours of volunteer effort.
The total contribution to social initiatives is probably above £2.5bn per annum.
