Cluster FAQs

CHGN recognises that each new cluster will have its own unique character, vision and structure. However, the CHGN team will be happy to offer you advice and guidance as you develop your particular style of collaboration and support. Below are a few examples:

1. How much will it cost me to join a cluster?

There is no initial financial cost. But it will cost you time and energy. Each cluster member would need to build open and trustful relationships with others, to aid learning and sharing.

2. Do I have to become a member of CHGN to join a cluster?

Yes you do. Clusters are part of CHGN, so members of clusters should be members of CHGN. Becoming a member is quick and easy! Please visit www.chgn.org and click on "Join us".

3. Can Hindus, Muslims and CHGN members of other faiths join in cluster discussions?

Although CHGN has strongest links with Christian organisations, we are not an exclusive network. We welcome contributions from other faith groups and from those with no faith commitment. We have much to learn from each other and want to work together for our communities.

4. I am not able to get online. How can I keep in touch with CHGN and cluster activities?

Where there are mobile networks, CHGN encourages cluster members to share their contact details and talk or send texts. Preferably one or two members will have internet access and be able to connect to the CHGN website and feedback to the CHGN Team by email. Paper copies of the CHGN newsletters could be distributed through these link people as appropriate.

5. I am a member of CHGN, but we have no cluster in our area. What should I do?

If you are a committed member of the network and want to start a cluster in your area, discuss with other members in you locality to see if they would be interested to join you in this venture. Please then contact the CHGN UK team ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ), and we can work together to see how to take the cluster forwards.
