St Mary, Farndale

St Mary's serves the communities of Farndale from the hamlet of Church Houses. All are welcome at our services - usually two a month - and St Mary's welcomes many hundreds of annual visitors to this famously lovely dale in the North York Moors. 
If you're visiting Farndale for its spring daffodils, don't forget to stop into St Mary's and its carefully-managed wildlife-friendly churchyard, and give thanks for all the works of God's hand!

Safeguarding

Our Church is committed to Safeguarding - to keeping all children, young people and adults at risk safe and free from harm. We have a growing congregation and an increasing number of visitors and this commitment is reaffirmed annually by the Parochial Church Council (PCC).

The PCC has approved our safeguarding policy and we have training, policies and procedures in place for all elected and appointed officers to:

- promote a safe environment and culture to prevent all abuse where we can,
- encourage us to learn more about safeguarding and how we can get involved,
- safely recruit and support those working with children and young people and vulnerable adults,
- respond to and promptly report safeguarding concerns,
- care pastorally for those who have experienced or been affected by abuse,
- care pastorally for anyone who may pose a risk to others.

The PCC has appointed Sarah Andrews as Parish Safeguarding Officer; she and our Vicar, the Revd Paul Sunderland, are the people in the Parish to speak to about any safeguarding concerns you may have.
