Parish Safeguarding Officer:
After many year’s service Elsi Hampton has resigned as our PSO and I would like to thank Elsi for all her hard work and commitment to the role during that time. It does mean in the interim that PSO responsibilities default to Fr Darren as incumbent. If anyone does have any safeguarding concerns please do contact him in the first instance or Helen Wilson our churchwarden. If you think the role of PSO is something you would like to consider please do have a word with Fr Darren who will be happy to provide more information about this important church position.
