GROUPS IN THE PARISH

There are many groups, programmes and individual volunteers in the Parish. Although they carry out many different activities, all of them are ultimately directed to further the mission of the Parish. Here we have tried to give you some of the history and background of these groups, their aims and objectives and what they do. We hope you will learn as much as we did when we were compiling the information and also that some of the work done in the Parish will interest and inspire you to become involved in one or more of the groups.

Each group is listed under the area of Parish life with which it is most closely associated. The headings will take you to a webpage describing what they do.
