Fit for Function – Adapting to the New Normal

How do we adapt to the changing landscape, what is the new normal, will the ‘digital’ church lead to the demise of religious buildings?

This one-day ecumenical event will be a mix of useful presentations, lively discussions and Q&A panels.

Recognising that post Covid-19 things are going to be different, we have pulled together a range of religious and heritage experts will provide practical advice around topics such as: sustaining and developing our churches, adapting to new technology, how we secure our buildings whilst remaining open to the community and the best ways to fundraise, now and for the future.

The day will also include a variety of case-studies, demonstrating how churches can successfully rise to a post Covid world and offer inspiration for you to do the same.

The event is being delivered in partnership between the RC Archdiocese of Birmingham and the Anglican Dioceses’ of Hereford, Worcester, Birmingham, Coventry & Lichfield. Speakers will include representatives from The National Churches Trust, AllChurches Trust Ltd, The Heritage Lottery Fund and others.
