We are members of the Inclusive Church movement
Inclusive Church is a network of churches, groups and individuals united around a shared vision. We believe in an inclusive church – a church that does not discriminate but celebrates and affirms everyone.

Our church is committed to the safeguarding responsibilities for parishes as outlined in the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance in relation to safeguarding and those who have a key role to play with children, young people and adults who may be vulnerable.
