We are a friendly village church a few miles outside Cambridge. We have level access to our church through our north door, which is accessible from our car park.
Safeguarding children and adults at risk is central to living the Gospel of Love Christ gave us.
We follow the House of Bishop's Promoting a Safer Church policy as well as all the diocesan guidance on implementation. We follow safer recruitment practice with all our volunteers who work with children or adults at risk.
