Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge for your services?
Generally we don’t, unless you order copies of print publications. We don’t want anyone to be barred from using our resources – whether that’s a powerpoint or a prayer email or help in putting on an event. But, at the same time, all the resources cost us money to produce – so we are always grateful if people who use them make a donation. And (see below), if we’re being asked to travel a significant distance, we will ask for people to pay travel expenses.
Do you work outside the Thames Valley?
Yes, our online resources are being used around the UK and around the world. And we’re happy to help people set up events in other places. Our only consideration would be that if expensive travel is required, we’d ask those involved to pay for it.
Are you affiliated with any particular denomination?
Our board members and staff each have their own affiliations, but we as an organisation are ecumenical, working with a wide variety of churches. We are a body in association with Churches Together in Oxfordshire.
May I reproduce your material for my church publication?
Yes, indeed. For church publications, you are free to reproduce our written material. We hope people will use it in different church contexts – the more Christians can engage with the questions of justice and love that concern us all, the better! We ask that you attribute any material you use to CCOW and either give the URL for or (if you’re reproducing online) link to our website.
Our material may not be adapted without permission or reproduced for commercial purposes. If you would like to adapt it or use it for commercial purposes, please get in touch.
