TIME is running out to enter Ecclesiastical's 'Reaching out, Inviting in - Churches Helping Communities' Competition 2016. The company, which specialises in church insurance, has had some exciting entries so far and is keen to get as many churches to take part as possible before the closing date of 31 August. The top prize is £10,000 and there are five runner up prizes of £2,000 each. To enter, churches simply need to tell us about their church community activity.
We're looking for ideas that are: Creative - What is new, different or imaginative about the way a church helps its community? Effective - How has the church supported the community been supported? Inspirational - Will the idea inspire other churches? It is important to emphasise that no idea is too small - making a difference to the community is what will count, no matter what size the church, congregation or project. The competition is open to any Anglican church in the UK. For an entry form, full terms and conditions and more information click here.
The six finalists will be announced in early October and will be invited to a prize giving ceremony in London on 9 November when the overall winner will be declared.
