Caring for people in any sort of need or difficulty is an important part of the work of the church.

We have groups of specially-prepared people who help in baptism preparation, marriage preparation, bereavement visiting and home communions for the sick and housebound.

We also regularly visit the nursing homes in our parish, Leonard Lodge and Hutton Village Nursing Home, as well as the residential home at Roseberry Court, and arrange services or home communions as appropriate.

In our daily prayers we pray for individuals who are in special need who have asked for our prayers.

We can arrange transport to our church services for people who find mobility difficult.

We are committed to a policy of equality and accessibility to all our church buildings and activities. St. Peter's in particular is fully adapted for people with special mobility needs, and has a loop system installed for those with hearing difficulties. Signing can usually be arranged for special services if required.

We can also sometimes offer practical or financial help where appropriate.

Please contact the Parish Office or the Clergy if we can offer any assistance to you or your family.
