This website is the main means of making certain key resources for Everybody's Welcome freely available and also for collecting, storing and sharing the resources that exist in parishes, dioceses, organisations and other Christian communities across England and Wales and beyond.

These resources will grow as the year progresses and fall into a number of categories:

• General practical tools for building or developing a spirit of friendliness, family-sensitivity and welcome within parishes. So far we have identified two of these: Everybody's Welcome and A Ministry of Welcome training kit for parishes.

• Specific practical tools for accommodating those families with particular needs beyond the scope of the general tools mentioned above. These are being developed - starting at the Making Everybody Welcome conference.

• Stories of what parishes are already doing to meet the project objectives. 

• Month by month simple and easy ideas for parishes to try without expending too much time and energy. 

• Development of other tools such as welcome packs, directory of sources of family support, parish marriage and family ministry handbooks, diocesan marriage and family ministry handbook.

You can at any time give feedback on any of these ideas and resources by contacting the Everybody's Welcome Working Group.

“The challenge is to build highly loving supportive communities within our parishes for all of us, including our families.”
