The Growing Faith Foundation is resourcing 17 Learning Hubs across the country to act as strong developmental communities of practice from which other school and church leaders (both regionally and nationally) can learn. 13 Hubs were launched in 2023 located in the dioceses of Carlisle, Derby, Durham, Ely, Guildford, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Norwich, Salisbury, Sheffield, Southwell and Notts and a shared hub across Portsmouth and Winchester. At the beginning of 2024, Hubs will begin in the dioceses of Bath and Wells, Exeter, Gloucester and St Albans.

We are also excited to announce that the 2025 Hub Application Process is now open! We are thrilled to be launching 12 new Growing Faith Learning Hubs in January 2025. Please do consider whether your Diocese, a deanery, a MAT, a church/school partnership or other iteration might become a suitable Hub. Read more about the application process here, and to apply to be a Hub in 2025, complete this application.
