Whether you are newly elected or have been a Churchwarden for some time, our Churchwardens' Training Day is an opportunity to find out more about what support is available from the central Diocesan support team and connect in with other churchwardens.
If you know of someone within your parish who might be thinking about serving as a churchwarden in the future, do encourage them to come along to these sessions too, as the day is a good overview of what to expect when in office.
