Deanery and Parish Support

The Deanery and Parish Support team is committed to serving parishes through both practical support and resources and accompanying and supporting parishes and deaneries through periods of change and development.

The team is led by Julia Hill and supported by Sue Whitehead/Sophie Moore. There are Deanery and Parish Support Advisers for each archdeaconry, as well as Giving and Funding Advisers and a Church Buildings Adviser. Cheryl Hawkins, voluntary Healing Adviser, completes the team.
