Farnworth Baptist Church awarded Investors in People Award

Farnworth Baptist Church has been awarded gold accreditation by Investors in People.

The church supports over 6,000 people annually through services addressing poverty, disadvantage, and social exclusion.

Rev John Bradbury, senior minister at Farnworth Baptist Church, said: “Achieving Investors in People Gold isn’t just a milestone, it’s a powerful testament to a shared belief that when we invest in our people, we unlock limitless potential, inspire greatness, and build a future where everyone can thrive.”

Farnworth Baptist Church added: “This is a significant achievement that reflects our commitment to supporting, developing, and valuing our staff and volunteers, even during the challenging times we faced last year, including funding pressures and staff redundancies.

“This achievement is a proud milestone for our organisation and would be a tremendous encouragement to our staff, volunteers, and wider community.”

Delivering services such as welfare advice, wellbeing support, employment coaching, and emergency food provision, the church aims to meet needs identified through lived experience.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Farnworth Baptist Church.

“Gold accreditation on We invest in people is a fantastic effort for any organisation, and places Farnworth Baptist Church in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”
