Together for Regeneration (TfR) plays an important role in supporting churches and their neighbours to participate in transforming communities through actions and relationships inspired by Jesus’ teaching. TfR is an embodiment of the churches’ commitment to the Diocese of Sheffield’s Vision Statement.
