Tolladine Mission CIO
Christian Mission and Housing in Tolladine
Tolladine Mission CIO is a charity delivering Christian Mission and social housing in Tolladine. Tolladine is an area of Worcester with high levels of need and a strong sense of community. The CIO aims to meet some of the spiritual and housing needs in the community.
Mission
We work closely with the Church of England Diocese of Worcester in the parishes of St Barnabas with Christ Church, St Wulstans and St Nicholas. We promote the Churches' work through mission within the community.
We aim to have a Mission Community in Tolladine who will energise and motivate the people of Tolladine as a call to action for the people. Our vision is for a self-funding model where Missioners work part time for the Mission in return for accomodation, but also work part time elsewhere. The Mission will be partly funded by the provision of social supported housing.
Housing
We are a social enterprise, aiming to provide environmentally sustainable homes which meet local housing needs.
We currently have one property in management which provides much needed housing for a local family. The aim is to acquire and build more housing which would be made available to people in Tolladine.
It’s an exciting time for us...
We are working on a project to provide homes for people in need in the garden of the former Christ Church vicarage in Tolladine Road. We are submitting a planning application for this project, and you can see the plans on this page. We are in discussion with a local housing charity to move this project forward. The aim is to provide four sustainable eco-friendly homes for single people and couples while the main house remains occupied.
Our aim is to generate enough income from our property portfolio to channel any surplus into Mission and housing in the area, whatever form that takes.
