Home » Get involved » Volunteering


The parish offers many opportunities for anyone to give some of their time and talents. Everyone of course has competing demands and concerns to meet, but we hope that most parishioners, and some others as well, will enjoy the satisfaction of giving in this way, at least occasionally or for a limited period.

Our volunteers join us for many reasons: to support something worthwhile, to pursue an interest, or to learn new skills. But they all enjoy being part of our community and among supportive friends.

If you are interested in undertaking any of these roles for a while, please complete and return a household details form (see Downloads or the leaflet stand in the church foyer).

All volunteer roles need to be undertaken in cooperation with the relevant coordinator. Some require prior training or testing. A few demand vetting by the Disclosure and Barring Service, because vulnerable individuals may be involved.
