Programme

Coverage

We offer a suite of carefully crafted surveys tailored to the local context to uncover the real needs in your area.
Four groups of people will give their views on the categories.

Schedule

From beginning to end, the programme can take four to five months. It relies on engagement from within the church, and people’s willingness to get out and talk with their neighbours, build relationships and consider what they think about their community.

Data Collection

Volunteers from the church help gather survey results using online or paper surveys.
We offer different surveys for five different groups of people:

Church People: church members and regular attendees
Building users: users of church buildings or facilities
Residents: those living within a given radius of the church
Influencers: those in the community holding a position of authority (e.g. councillors, head teachers, chief of police etc.)
Insiders: those who work in the local area (e.g. bar staff, hairdressers, plumbers, etc.)

The targets for each survey are established based on your total target public. For example, residents are represented by five per cent of those over 16 living within the catchment area of the church.

Leap Discover finds out the real needs of the community and matches your church's heart, expertise and resources to meet those needs. We empower your church to have a greater impact in the local community.
