Our Work

Find out more about the work of the Susanna Wesley Foundation. Through collaborative partnerships, funding innovative research projects, and engaging in our own research with our research team, the SWF is uniquely placed to offer Methodist-grounded approaches to learning that serves the flourishing of faith communities and those who lead them. Projects here are presented in four intersecting themes: Conferences and Learning; Justice, Wellbeing and Community; Leadership, Ecclesiology and Faith Practice; and Methodist Education and Chaplaincy.
