Our Values and Ethos in the Christian Faith

It is a requirement of this postholder to be a committed Christian as this particular role is developing the partnership with Hillsong Church and Livability. This will include attending conferences, speaking on behalf of Regenerate-RISE and presenting our heart and vision to Churches and organisations across South West London and in the area where our projects are working.

The postholder will be looking to partner with local Churches in different regions of the UK to make a difference in their community to the lives of older people and therfore must have good communication skills and an understanding of the Church’s role in social action.

It is not a requirement for all staff working within Regenerate-RISE to be Christians, but it is essential for Senior Management. We are respectful of the wishes of all our funders and do not include times of Christian worship within the funded day but believe that the spiritual health of older people is important and we offer opportunities for members to attend the Church of their choice by working with Churches in the locality.

The values and ethos of Regenerate-RISE is based in the Christian faith and we believe that through the provision of day care services and in due course residential services, we can demonstrate the love of God through demonstrating love, care and kindness on a daily basis. The majority of our clients have lived in isolation for various periods of time and have often lost hope in life – we aim to renew that hope, fulfill individual dreams and provide a service that gives older people fulfilment in life.

In SW15 we are funded by Wandsworth Council and work in partnership with Hillsong and Livability.

In Nottingham we are funded by the Big Lottery and work in partnership with St Francis C of E Church.

In Ealing we are currently looking for new funding following the completion of five years of the Big Lottery funding and we work in partnership with Northol Park Baptist Church.

We believe that we can make a real difference in the local community by demonstrating our faith in action.
