Exemplar of the Month-ish: St George's Church, Leeds

I've now been writing this blog for a couple of months and this is the first I've presented an example of good practice, so I've changed the title accordingly.
My first exemplar is St George's church right at the centre of the city of Leeds. St George's have been able to marry primary service delivery (St George's Crypt - who have helped the homeless and needy for 80 years this year) without compromising the mission of the church. They are very clear about their vision for their church and they use their resources really well to help them achieve that vision.

Here's their website:

I really like their site. It's very well designed and shows that they're doing really interesting things as well as making sure it has the important fundraising stuff like having a donate here page and having links to the St George's centre, where they hire out function rooms. Importantly they also link up everything they do with videos on youtube, photos on flickr and networking on facebook and twitter. This way they can reach a greater audience and if someone clicks on one site their brought back to the website. It's a really good example of how all the activities the church do are linked virtually.
