Check how "user-friendly" your Church is and how well it is communicating both with its congregation and with those you want to reach. We look at internal issues including church notice boards, parish magazines and pew sheets, disabled access, signage, and accessibility. Looking outwards, we consider how to get your church open again, websites, advertising, basic media relations and appointing a parish press officer.
