Spatial Perceptions

The Society’s charitable objects are the advancement of the Christian religion through: 

​

1. the establishment, renewal and revitalisation of churches within England and Wales and for the maintenance of the religious services and activities therein.

2. relief of hardship of charities through the provision of education, management and stewardship for the development of building assets; and

3. the relief of hardship and distress of individuals who, by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances are in need and require support in such ways as are exclusively charitable, including but not exclusively by providing grants and support services, facilities and education.

The Society shall benefit the community by assisting with the property development of Christian religious institutions, which in turn will enable those institutions to maximise their resources and minimise their costs and by undertaking property development education programmes. As a result of this activity the Society will benefit the community be enabling the following: 

 

1. the promotion of urban and rural regeneration 

2. the promotion of the voluntary sector 

3. promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and the effective use of charitable resources 

4. the promotion of community capacity building 

5. charities concerned with social investment 

6. the provision of education to the community 

​

We do this by: 

 

1. Modelling ethical practice, adhering to a new code of conduct, which we would want to see introduced and adhered to as an industry standard for those operating in the Christian property sector. 

2. Identifying those across the property industry who share the charity's values and practices and to identify, designate and connect to such individuals and organisations, therein developing a trusted network that the Church can call and rely upon and which the society will manage and monitor.

3. Equipping the charitable sector with an understanding of creatively managing and maximising the value of existing charitable organisations end assets. 

4. Teaching those in leadership regarding property and active asset management, by partnering with existing educational establishments to develop courses and resources for leaders. 

5. Resourcing, leading, and facilitating projects by providing, with the Church, the necessary leadership and enabling finance (or provide a signpost to those lender organisations who can help) to enable project to be delivered well. On project completion leaving the Church with a sustainable income from the created or re-created assets. ​

6. Representing the multi-denominational Church locally, regionally and nationally by making structured submissions on planning policy frameworks
