The House of Good

Church buildings have always helped communities to survive and thrive.  

In every town and village across the UK, churches have been a local safety net for centuries.  

We know that this support is valuable for so many people, but how valuable? 

The House of Good is the National Churches Trust’s ground-breaking research into the value of churches to all of us. The findings are remarkable and demonstrate the importance of these buildings to the UK.   

Churches are so much more than places of worship. From foodbanks to credit unions, places of worship provide a growing list of essential services for people in need.
