Heartlines is a Christian organisation that has spent the past 14 years developing national best practice, values-based social change interventions. Working across all sectors of society (workplace, school, communities, etc.) the key objective is to provide the church with culturally appropriate and current resources that help answer the question “how then shall we live?” Our interventions are based on best practice social change theory. We are process rather than topic experts, and partner with experts on our chosen topics. Each new intervention starts with extensive research on our chosen topic. This includes literature reviews, expert opinion, and focus group feedback.
