Samaritan Network is not a church. It is a network of church groups and individuals from various backgrounds, who share in the mission of ‘active compassion'. It seeks to strengthen churches and facilitate their work in the community. Ultimately, it is a universal group of committed individuals, sponsored by their churches, communities, businesses, and other affiliations, to deliver an ‘active compassion' service to the needy and distressed in their local and wider communities .

Social Entrepreneurship
‘The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck. He or she finds what is not working and solves the problem by changing the system, spreading solution and persuading entire societies to take new leaps' ‘Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish' ‘They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry' ‘…Social entrepreneurs go beyond the immediate problem to fundamentally change communities, societies, the world'

Samaritan Network Ltd plays the key role of mobilising churches and individuals to show ‘active compassion' to individuals and communities in distress. The ultimate objective is to develop a Samaritan Group within every church in the UK
