Joining In
If you have visited the Abbey and like what you saw – whether you came to admire the archecture or to worship with us – you would be very welcome to get more involved with life here; there is a whole range of other groups and activities with which you can also get involved, from bell-ringing, to taking part in house groups, from flower arranging to helping with the Parish magazine.
If you would like to put yourself forward, please contact us or speak to a member of the clergy or anybody wearing a name badge at a service you attend; they will be pleased to point you in the right direction.
To find out more please click on the links below and if you would like to apply to volunteer, please use either of these these forms.”
