Know Your NextGen

Every postcode is a mission field, and some of it is still in school. Enter your church postcode and meet the children, young people, families and schools around you.

This report counts children; it never identifies them. Every figure is an anonymous total published by the Office for National Statistics and the Department for Education.

Children and young people
—
children and teenagers aged 0 to 17
—
young adults aged 18 to 24
—
schools and colleges inside the circle

Then and now

Your full NextGen report is ready

Every age year by year, the families raising them, every school in your circle, and the faith, heritage and languages of the children around you. Tell us where to send it.

Free, no strings. We'll use your email to send this report and the occasional idea for reaching young people and families. No spam, ever.

Making sense of it
Proof it can be done

“We went from a church of eight to regularly welcoming over 200 adults and children at our events, month after month.”

Vision Church, Bromley: a small local church that learned to reach its own postcode, family by family.

Light parties, holiday clubs and Easter fun days turned numbers like these into children and parents through the door. Read how: digitalgospel.uk/vision-church-story.html
