West Trent Churches
We’re a group of churches (known as a Benefice) who gather to worship and pray across the villages of Bleasby, Halloughton, Hoveringham, Morton, Rolleston, Thurgarton and Upton. We have a vision to see our rural communities alive with the hope and life of Jesus — where faith takes root, lives flourish, and God’s love reaches every home.

Safeguarding
Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer and Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs) for each of the 7 churches in the Benefice.
Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information and we refer all safeguarding information to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our Benefice Safeguarding Officer, Christine Salter E: Christine Salter or Revd James Moring E:[email protected].
