About us

Who we are

Christ in the Community is an international Non-Profit Community Interest Company registered in the UK. We are dedicated to serving and enhancing the well-being of our community. We work in three ways: 

1. We support local people by offering resources and programs to help those facing financial constraints, isolation, loneliness and mental difficulties, fostering a sense of belonging, and wellness, and promoting integration and connection within the community.

2. We work with churches in the UK to help them make their presence known in and around their community by offering practical and strategic support through a range of services.

3. We support communities in Jamaica experiencing indigence, by helping children to attend school through the provision of school supplies and providing the fuel they need to attend school and achieve their full potential.

Our name embodies our mission to be the hands and feet of Christ within our community.

Our culture and values

As a Community Interest Company, we envision a future where every person possesses the tools and resilience to overcome obstacles, discover their full potential, able to forge pathways to brighter horizons and build stronger families and communities.

Our organisation is founded on three core beliefs, and these underpin the work we do:

♥ Our purpose on this earth is to help others by using whatever talent, experience, or position we have to help those who are within our power to help. When we help others, we are embodying the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. We are also enabling all those whose lives we touch to encounter God’s love through our actions.

♥ We believe in making our future generation a better generation, by equipping them with the necessary tools and fuel they need to help them discover and develop their inner gift so they can become great people of the future and contribute positively to society. The work we do with young people in underserved communities responds directly to the challenges and barriers they face. We give them the tools and fuel they need to develop their skills to take their future into their own hands and be independent, active citizens.

♥ We believe that everyone has something they can be amazing at. Sometimes circumstances and challenges can cause us to lose our spark and we just need some support to help us discover what that is, and we can help them unearth that.

 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our organisation is committed to promoting the values, equality, diversity, and inclusion of everyone across our workforce. We believe that a diverse workforce enriches our organisation, bringing a variety of perspectives and experiences that contribute to our success.

To ensure fairness and oppose discrimination, we have implemented the following policies and practices:

  • Equal Opportunities Policy: We adhere to a strict equal opportunities policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
  • Diversity and Inclusion Training: All employees undergo regular training on diversity and inclusion awareness, unconscious bias, and effective communication. This training helps to promote understanding, respect, and a sense of belonging.
  • Fair Recruitment and Selection: Our recruitment and selection processes are designed to be fair and inclusive. We use objective criteria and avoid discriminatory practices.
  • Flexible Working Arrangements: We offer flexible working arrangements, such as part-time work, job sharing, and remote working, to accommodate the needs of our diverse workforce.
  • Employee Support Networks: We support employee resource groups and networks that provide a safe space for employees from underrepresented groups to connect, share experiences, and advocate for their needs.
  • Grievance Procedures: We have a transparent and accessible grievance procedure in place to address any complaints of discrimination or harassment.

By implementing these measures, we strive to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and has equal opportunities to succeed. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for our organisation's long-term success.
