Joint initiative from

5ds Training Day

On 22nd Nov 2022, we hosted our first training day for those who would like to lead and facilitate a group through the 5D Framework with their church or church unity group.

If you would be interested in future training days, you can message us here.

5D Presentation

Here are the 5D slides that can be used to go through the material as a team alongside reading through the book. In due course we will have further training materials, including course facilitator notes available. In the meantime, we would encourage to attend the ‘Facilitator Training Session’ on Nov 22nd.

Problem Tree

Step 2 Discover includes ‘The Problem Tree’ actvity. Here is the downloadable version of the diagram for you to complete focussing on one of the priority needs your group identified during the mapping exercise.

Creating an Action Plan PDF

Step 4 Design has ‘Creating an Action Plan’. Here is the downloadable full version of the document that you can utilise.

Drawing from the rich learning from Tearfund’s asset based community development, Simon Hawking and Andy Frost have developed the 5D Framework to help Christians explore how they can make a difference in their community. The 5D Framework breaks down into five steps and these five steps are then divided into two stages: Exploration and Mobilisation.
