New Year new home for Church Army

News Release: 07 December 2010

After nine years based in Sidcup, north Kent, Church Army is moving its offices north to Sheffield.

Mark Russell, Church Army’s Chief Executive comments: “We will be sad to leave our base in Sidcup, but this is an exciting opportunity to bring together all the functions of Church Army in one location for the first time in our recent history. This will make our work even more effective.

Roy Totten, Chair of the Board of Church Army adds: “The Board have made this decision after many hours of prayer and discussion.”

The Bishop of Sheffield, the Rt.Revd Dr Steven Croft, said: "I warmly welcome the decision of the Church Army Board to move their offices to Sheffield and create a dynamic centre for mission here. Sheffield is a wonderful, vibrant, welcoming city. Church Army will bring significant gifts, expertise and challenge to the life of the diocese and the region. It has been a delight for me personally to work in close partnership with Church Army for a number of years now, and I look forward to that partnership strengthening and deepening in the years to come."
