Being Here Revisited Report 2011 Research into the role and contribution of the churches in and

This report presents the findings from: The Being Here Revisited Survey of Churches in Foreword I am delighted to introduce this report to you, capturing as it does a snapshot of the work of churches in our wonderful city.

No image can fully reflect the nature of the item being represented and this is true of our document. Despite our best efforts it was only possible to include responses from 75% of the churches in Brighton and Hove and perhaps inevitably the 25 or so churches we have not been able to include are not spread evenly across the city. This leads to the impression that two of the geographical wards do not contain churches. As many readers will appre- ciate there are buildings in all neighbourhoods of Brighton and Hove, although some contain more than others.

This document is primarily a reflection of the work of our churches which attempt to meet some of the social needs in our society. This however is only one element of the work and nature of our faith communities, many of which also: • Contribute to the musical and cultural life of the city ” • Support the political and civic life of the city • Provide counselling to many residents and visitors to the city on an informal basis • Pray for the city and contribute to our Spiritual life together

I would like to thank all the staff at the CVSF for their help in compiling this report, but primarily Alex, Adam and Libby who have worked very hard on our behalf, taking raw data from over 70 questionnaires and turning this into a meaningful account that we hope will inform all who read it.

2 Introduction This report is the outcome of a survey of 76 churches from across Brighton and Hove. The survey looks into the role churches play in the city’s communities through the pro- jects they run and the groups they support. Its intention is to map and showcase what is often an under-represented section of the Community and Voluntary Sector by collating and analysing data and information fed back from the churches.

It is hoped that this report could help identify potential partnerships between churches in the city - and hopefully beyond - by sharing information with other Community and Voluntary Sector groups and organisations, and with local public authorities. Many of the churches’ activities and contributions to the Community and Voluntary Sector can go unnoticed, and through highlighting some of the vital work churches do with those in need, learning can be shared with all involved in servicing and supporting Brighton and Hove’s local communities.

In total, 76 churches out of 102 from across the city were surveyed between January and ” April 2011. Churches provided details of projects and activities that they run and the services they provide for the community, and also details of other organisations which use the churches’ building(s) or rely on the support of churches in other ways. It was this information that provided the bulk of the data used to compile this report and to build an up-to-date picture of the role that churches play in Brighton and Hove.

The surveys were undertaken by ENGAGE, which is an association of Christians com- mitted to encouraging and equipping churches to become more deeply involved with the communities of Brighton and Hove.

The Community and Voluntary Sector Forum (CVSF) supported ENGAGE in the writ- ing of this report. CVSF helps Community and Voluntary organisations to work together and develop a stronger influence over local policies and plans with the aim of benefiting all communities in Brighton and Hove.

This report revisits a previous study undertaken by ENGAGE in 2004. The original ‘Be- ing Here’ report was the outcome of nearly a year of face-to-face interviews with church leaders and the results of questionnaires sent out to churches’ projects across the city. It examined the types of involvement churches were engaged in and divided Brighton and Hove into eight geographic areas and looked in detail at the role of the churches within

3 these. The authors were able to identify how churches worked with communities of inter- est and with those in need, and also the strengths and weaknesses of the churches’ role.

This report builds on the original ‘Being Here’ report, and draws an up-to-date picture of the valuable contribution that the churches in Brighton and Hove make to the Com- munity and Voluntary Sector and to the city.

This report first explores the types of involvement churches have across the city and with particular groups and communities of interest, before exploring in more detail the im- pact of the churches within the city’s ward boundaries.

4 Types of Involvement: Services, Projects and Activities Across Brighton and Hove there is a huge variety in the types of involvement that church- es have with the city’s communities. It is useful to break these down into categories to help build a better picture of the work that they do and the impact that they have.

The total number of Services, Projects and Activities provided by churches across Bright- on and Hove:

Services: 186 Projects: 40 Activities: 49

For the purpose of this report the types of involvement listed above are defined as: • A service: an activity which provides assistance, support or advice to someone • A project: work planned to achieve a particular aim or outcome • An activity: an on-going or sustained piece of work which brings people together

The Churches in Brighton and Hove provide a wide range of services that include such diverse areas as lunch clubs for older people, hosting Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and providing a safe space for homeless people to eat, shower and socialise. A good ex- ample of service provision is the ‘Safehaven service’ based at St Peter’s Church’s, which provides a hot meal and a place to socialise for homeless people on a Saturday night. Another good example is the CAMEO club for older people, which is provided by Dorset Gardens Church and aims to facilitate fellowship and socialising.

Brighton and Hove’s churches are also involved in an array of projects which include city- wide initiatives like Off The Fence Trust’s ‘Antifreeze’ project. This project is staffed by volunteers from churches like All Saints in and Connaught Christian Ministries and aims to offer spiritual, practical and emotional support to homeless people across Brighton and Hove. Another good example of projects provided by the churches is the Church Of Christ The King’s project which works to engage young people in the 10:10

5 project, a project aimed at reducing individuals’ and also the city’s carbon footprint.

Activities provided by the churches range from youth football groups like the one pro- vided by the Down’s Baptist Church to a variety of holiday clubs for children and young people, through to gardening and allotment groups for older people like those provided by Christ Church in Preston Park.

Citywide Initiatives and Partnerships

A number of the city’s churches are involved in citywide initiatives and projects often facilitated by partnerships between local churches and national or even international or- ganisations. Below are some (but by no means all) examples of such citywide initiatives:

Off the Fence Off The Fence Trust is a Brighton and Hove based registered charity founded on a Chris- tian vision and driven by Christian values. The charity provides vital services to the most vulnerable and marginalised in local communities. The charity works in the three areas of street homelessness, women facing times of crisis, and schools and youth. Off The Fence staff are supported by an enthusiastic and committed group of more than 80 volunteers.

Saint Vincent de Paul Society

“The SVP (Saint Vincent De Paul Society) supports justice and peace by encouraging communities and individuals to improve their quality of life, but works to address the causes of need.”

SVP is by far the most prevalent citywide initiative within those churches surveyed, with eight Churches running activities related to this society. The churches involved with this society organise The Brighton Soup Run in various locations along the sea front, seven days a week, providing a lifeline to homeless and vulnerable people across Brighton and Hove. Another key area of the society’s work in Brighton and Hove is visiting and be- friending older people and those in need.

Brighton & Hove City Mission

“The Brighton and Hove City Mission is an non-denominational Christian Charity that endeavours to make a positive difference to the inhabitants of Brighton and Hove…”

The mission offers a range of services across Brighton and Hove including outreach to marginalised communities in estates and older people through their ‘Treasured Mo- ments’ programme. The mission’s ‘Basics Bank’ scheme provides vital food parcels for those most in need and start up packs for those moving on from homelessness or tem- porary accommodation.

6 The Clock Tower Sanctuary

“The Clock Tower Sanctuary is a Christian-inspired, voluntary organisation and registered Charity.”

The Clock Tower Sanctuary is the only volunteer run day centre for young homeless people between the ages of 16 and 25 in Brighton and Hove. The Sanctuary provides vi- tal short and longer term support to homeless young people and those who are vulner- ably housed; this includes access to a kitchen, information and signposting, one-to-one support from a project worker, skills and confidence building and emergency financial support.

Alternatives Pregnancy Counselling (City Gate Centre) Alternatives gives free support to people facing an unplanned pregnancy and to those experiencing difficulties following an abortion, therapeutic termination or miscarriage. Services include: free pregnancy testing (with immediate result), pregnancy crisis coun- selling, pre-abortion counselling, post-abortion counselling, befriending service, free clothes and baby equipment, advice on benefits and accommodation, adoption advice for birth mothers, teaching programmes for schools, colleges and youth organisations, miscarriage counselling and baby loss counselling.

St Luke’s Advisory Service Established in 1999 by Peter Irwin Clarke (ex barrister and vicar of St Luke’s) and Sue Worthing (a solicitor), St Luke’s Advisory Service aims to deal with people’s problems holistically and to give them time to talk about the issues that worry them as they are going through a crisis. This could be anything from assistance filling out Disability Living Allowance forms, through to legal issues surrounding housing or relationship and family problems as well as negotiating and writing to statutory bodies on people’s behalf.

Brighton Voices In Exile

“Brighton Voices In Exile is a registered charity which reaches out to those seeking asylum, refugees and those with no recourse to public funds within Sussex.”

This is achieved through a case- work service supporting people on immigration matters, other legal concerns, domestic violence, health, benefits & housing, employment, volunteering and training. Alongside this Brighton Voices in Exile offers a destitution service, respite for longer term clients, a women’s group, a mixed support group (where work- shops are run on Human Rights,

7 entitlements, citizenship and other activites that promote understanding between com- munities and integration), and a weekly cookery group which provides a hot meal for those accessing the support group.

Street Pastors Brighton and Hove’s bar and club culture is important to the city’s economy, but there is no doubt it can have a devastating impact. The street pastors are a group of volunteers from local churches who welcome people to the West Street area, assist people who are lost or need directions and help those whose use of drink and drugs has left them vul- nerable. They work in partnership with all the other agencies operating in the area (in particular with SafeSpace) to make it a safer space.

Sussex Central YMCA Originally known as Hove YMCA and based in Marmion Road since 1919, the YMCA today provides a wide range of services throughout Brighton and Hove and beyond. It is the main provider of housing for vulnerable young people in the city with nearly 100 young people housed every night of the year. The YMCA also operates a counsel- ling service from the Dialogue Centre near Seven Dials which extends into many of the Schools in Brighton and Hove. Drop in Advice Centres operate from Blatchington Road and the 67 Centre in East Brighton. The YMCA continues to provide Sports and Rec- reation Services from Marmion Road throughout Sussex and provides jobs and training for young people through a variety of Government funded initiatives. The YMCA is a major employer in Brighton and Hove but relies on the support it receives from many of the churches in the city to ensure it can continue to help young people in need.

8 Churches Involvement with the City’s Communities of Interest The churches surveyed as part of this report reach out to an extremely broad range of individuals and groups. By analysing the data in more detail it is possible to identify par- ticular groups and communities of interest for whom churches across the city provide on-going services, projects and activities too.

Churches Involvement Overall This graph shows the groups and communities of interest which churches identified as providing targeted activities, services or projects too. (For example there are 114 services, activities and projects provided by churches across Brighton and Hove specifically for Children and Young People.)

9 It is important to note that the above graph is by no means an exhaustive picture of all the churches involvement with all communities of interest in the city. Due to the limita- tions of the survey, the fact that not all churches responded to the questionnaire, and the likelihood that many of the communities identified above may participate in services, projects and acitivies outside of those targeted specifically at their community, the graph above is only able to provide an indicative picture of the churches involvement with the city’s groups and communities of interest.

Churches Involvement with Particular Groups The section below provides a further breakdown of the types of services, projects and ac- tivities provided by churches across Brighton and Hove to a selection of five of the city’s communities of interest.

14 Churches Involvement in the City’s Geographical Wards To aid in mapping the activities and impact of the churches, the 76 churches which re- sponded to the survey have been divided geographically into the city’s 17 wards. Below is a list of the number of Churches who completed surveys in each ward.

The section below describes in more detail some examples of how the churches in differ- ent wards in the city interact with various groups and communities of interest. This sec- tion is not intended to provide a citywide picture of all services, projects and initiatives, but simply provide some more detail on particular ‘stories’ of interest and significance.

• Older People: In Patcham there are seven specifically focussed projects and activities aimed at older people, provided and supported by the churches in the ward. These include a short mat bowls club, a senior citizens club linked to the St Vincent De Paul Society and outreach visits to care homes.

• Parents and Child Carers: The Rottingdean Coastal ward has five activities and pro- jects aimed at parents and those caring for children, provided and supported by the churches in the ward. Three out of the four churches surveyed provide parent and toddler groups. Other services run by churches in the Rottingdean Coastal ward in- clude a mothers’ union and a ‘Dizzy Tilly’s preschool playgroup’.

• Children and Young People: The St Peters and North Laine ward has 18 activities and projects aimed at children and young people provided and supported by the churches in the ward. These include 12 youth clubs, scout, guide and brownie groups and a specialist Sunday school for young people with special needs.

• Homeless people: The St Peter’s and North Laine ward also has 11 activities and pro- jects aimed at the homeless community provided and supported by the churches in the ward. These include a friends’ drop in service, a facility for showering and clothes exchange and the St Peter’s Safehaven project for men and women which provides homeless people with a hot meal on a Saturday evening.

• People with addictions: In St Peter’s and North Laine ward there are seven churches offering rehabilitation and support to those with addictions. One of these is St Pe- ter’s own 16 step Recovery Course aimed at any one suffering from compulsive ad- dictions. Connaught Christian Ministries in Hanover and Elm Grove ward run a similar project called healthy options aimed at a range of addictions, and many other churches across the city support ‘Anonymous’ programmes.

• Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) community: Examples include churches such as Portslade’s Brightwaves who are actively involved in both summer and winter pride, and Queens Park’s Dorset Gardens Methodist Church who sup- port the Clare Project Community Group which is a transgender support group run jointly by the group and the church.

• Black Minority and Ethnic (BME) community: Churches such as Hove’s St An- drew’s supports a Sudanese women and children’s group, and in Hangleton and Knoll the Oasis Christian Fellowship hosts a Sudanese and Arabic community association.

17 • Disabled people: The Church of Christ the King in St Peter’s and North Laine run Church of Christ the King deaf which is a thriving group of hearing-impaired people and also host British Sign Language training. Holland Road Baptist Church in Golds- mid are part of a national Christian project called TORCH which is aimed specifi- cally at blind and partially sighted people.

Churches Involvement in Areas of High and Low Deprivation

This section of the report will look in more detail at how the churches engage with com- munities in some of the most and least deprived wards in Brighton and Hove. To help identify such areas, this report has used the 2007 Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). The Indices are a tool for working out the most impoverished wards in the country and measure deprivation using a variety of indicators that cover a range of economic, social and housing issues resulting in a single deprivation score for each ward.

The wards detailed below were selected because they scored either particularly high on the IMD and are therefore particularly deprived or particularly low on the IMD and are therefore less deprived. By looking at the churches’ role in these communities a picture is drawn of how the churches in Brighton and Hove support different communities with varying needs.

Wards with High Levels of Deprivation

St Peter’s and North Laine ward: This ward has by far the highest level of involvement by churches than any other ward in the city. This is to do with it having the joint highest (along with Regency ward) number of churches in the ward (9 in total), and also having areas identified as some of the most deprived in the city.

The London Road area of St Peter’s and North Laine ward is recognised as being amongst one of the most deprived areas in Brighton and Hove. The area has very little in the way of social capital and 47.7% of children in this area are living in child poverty. It also has a high proportion of single parents with 27% being the city’s average and 47% being the average for the London Road area.

St Peter’s and North Laine ward also includes the area around the Level, which is a hub for many vulnerable and homeless people. This area also happens to have one of the highest concentrations of churches providing services, projects and activities targeted at these groups. For example The Church of Christ the King’s ‘Friends First’ project runs a drop-in, re-housing programme and a rural apprenticeship scheme for homeless and vulnerable people.

18 There is also a high quantity of involvement with young people in this area with the Salvation Army running seven youth projects and services; these include a variety of afterschool clubs and age specific groups.

Queens Park ward: Tarner, the Queens Park area, Cravendale, St James Street, Kemp- town and Eastern Road all contain high levels of single parents and child poverty, as well as above average numbers of under 16 year olds and over 60 year olds. Dorset Gardens Methodist Church run a variety of projects and services aimed at these groups such as friendship and exercise groups for older people and a Holiday Club and Sunday Club for under 16s, as well as providing a lunch club for people with HIV.

In an area with above average numbers of single parents, 46% being the average for Tarn- er, which is 19% higher than the city in general, and an above average number of over 60 year olds, St Peter’s Church, which is located next to the Tarner area, provides a parent and toddler group and an over-50s tea morning.

East Brighton Ward: Whitehawk is recog- nised as being the third most deprived area in Brighton and Hove with 60% of children and young people (935 individuals) living in child poverty and 51% of parents are single parents. Whitehawk also has the highest portion of under 16 year olds in the city with 28% of its population under 16. St Cuthman’s provides a number of services for parents and young chil- dren including a parent and toddler group and also a social group for young mums to come together.

Moulsecoomb and Bevendean ward: Moulse- coomb and Bevendean are both recognised areas of deprivation with 57.7% of children in child poverty in the Moulsecoomb area and 39% of parents in Bevendean are single par- ents. The need for support for these groups is reflected in the churches provision of services, projects and activities throughout the ward. The New Life church runs three services and projects for young people including a Kidz Club, a social group for older children called Raw, and a mentoring programme. St Francis church in Moulsecoomb runs a playgroup that supports toddlers and parents from the local area.

Wards with Low Levels of Deprivation

Regency ward: This ward is one of the more affluent wards in the city and has a diverse range of services, projects and activities provided by the church. Being a city centre ward Regency has a large population of homeless and vulnerable people and this is reflected

19 in its community involvement and service provision. Good examples of this are St. Mary Magdalen Church’s soup run and churches like St Paul’s contribution to the street pastors outreach scheme. The Vineyard church runs a project in partnership with St Luke’s providing a monthly safe space, a meal and com- pany for homeless and vulnerable people. Many churches from across the city support Saint Vincent de Paul Society’s Brighton Soup Run which takes place along the sea front seven days a week.

Patcham ward: Churches in Patcham have a high level of involvement in their commu- nity. For young people in the area there are a variety of activities available from scouting groups and drama groups to Friday night youth clubs and Kidz clubs. For older people the Saint Vincent De Paul society run a seniors club at St Thomas More’s Church and Patcham Methodist Church run a weekly lunch club aimed at older people from the area.
