What is the House of Good?

Church buildings are the heartbeat of communities, offering everything from youth groups to foodbanks. They provide vital support to millions, including society’s most vulnerable.

Our ground-breaking The House of Good research revealed that UK churches contribute a staggering £55 billion in social benefit every year! Recent findings from our The House of Good: Health report also show that churches save the NHS £8.4 billion annually, equivalent to employing 230,000 nurses.
