Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is one of the priest’s most important roles, so feel free to talk to him. He, or one of the other Loddon Valley parish priests, are usually available to speak to any member of the church community who is in need of support on any issue. This could include bereavement, a spiritual crisis, marriage difficulties, pressures experienced as a carer, financial troubles or depression.
There are a large number of local organisations that can help. If the support you need cannot be found at the church, we are always pleased to try and help you find it. Many people are unaware of the help and advice which is available to them in the local community. Please, don’t feel you need to struggle on alone. Ask us for help.

Safeguarding
The parish safeguarding representative is responsible for implementing the diocesan guidelines for ensuring our community is as safe as possible for children, young people and vulnerable adults. These include the requirement that all people working in ministries involving these groups must provide documentation and submit to police checks. The policy is on display in the Church porch.
