Our Authorised Parish Visitors are available to visit for a variety of reasons, these are just three examples:

Getting ready for Baptism.
Visiting housebound, elderly, or those convalescing.
Providing a listening ear after bereavement.

This is a completely confidential service run entirely by our team of trained volunteers.

Parish Visitors

Putting a smile on this lady's face was exactly the reason why one of our volunteer Church visitors had called in to see her.

Just one afternoon a week she knows  a Church visitor will arrive and spend an hour or two with her, chatting and sharing a pot of tea.

When your family have all moved away and your health means you don't get out very often, you can soon get very lonely and withdrawn. It seems even worse in the winter and some days its hardly worth getting out of bed, at least it's a bit warmer under the covers. This may sound like an extreme scenario but unfortunately, it's only too common today.

Have you ever considered becoming a Church Visitor? If you have a couple of hours a week you could spare, then that's all you need to put a smile on another face.

Mrs Jo Husband is the co-ordinator for the team of Parish Visitors and you should contact her if you would like a visit or know of someone in the parish who might benefit from this service.
