Churchwardens across the Diocese are being encouraged to take part in a national survey exploring the training, learning and support they need in their role.
Commissioned by the Church of England’s Lay Ministries Team, part of the Archbishops’ Council, the research will help inform future national resources and support for churchwardens. Parish clergy, archdeacons and diocesan or deanery staff who support churchwardens are also invited to contribute.
The survey, being carried out by Brendan Research, asks about training already received and what support would be most helpful in the future. Responses will be treated confidentially, and no personal data is requested. If you have any questions, you can contact the team via churchwardens@brendanresearch.com.
The survey takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete and closes on Monday 30 November.
