Churches Homeless Action Carols

for 1 hour
St Mary's, Portsea
Fratton Road Portsea Portsmouth, PO1 5PH, United Kingdom

Join us for a carol service which both reflects on the Christmas season and remembers those who will be in need this winter. As a chance for us to share our gifts with others, we will be distributing the vouchers collected by local churches, through the Comfort & Joy campaign, to local agencies supporting vulnerable people this Christmas.

If you would like to contribute to the Comfort and Joy campaign, then please make a donation of £5 or £10 gift cards and/or a Christmas card with a personal message (in an unsealed envelope) to St Mary's Church, Fratton Road, PO1 5PA or The Deanery Office, St Faith's Church, Crasswell Street, PO1 1HT.

We hope that this combination of a gift card and a Christmas card gives people in the margins an opportunity to have their humanity recognised and to exercise the gift of choice in how they spend it.

Our Parish

Safeguarding

The Parish of Portsea is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We work to create protective and supportive environments where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey in safety.

We follow the national legal and procedural framework for safeguarding children and adults. We also follow the Church of England's guidance and policies, as set out by the House of Bishops, and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). More information about national policy, links to wider resources, and Portsmouth-specific information (including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors, who advise our PSOs), can be found on the Diocese of Portsmouth's safeguarding page.

If you have a safeguarding concern about an adult or child, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officers - Jenny, Mandy & Linsey - at [email protected]

Alternatively, you can contact the Diocese's safeguarding team at [email protected] or 023 9289 9665

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
