The Diocese is not responsible for the content of external websites

The Diocese wants to help churches and individuals to be aware of current rural issues and to engage with them.

We monitor rural developments and proposed activities that may impact on the countryside.

Our aim is to network with partner organisations and to offer insight as to the place of the Church in rural life.  At the same time by engaging with reports and draft legislation we hope to provide relevant information and recommended responses to testing rural issues.

Computers for rural people
The Arthur Rank Centre is a project supporting rural communities. Part of their work makes refurbished computers available for rural people at much reduced prices. The computers, from large organisations or government departments, are completely cleaned of data and refurbished by a specialist company. If you know rural people who could benefit from this please visit www.arthurrankcentre.org.uk
