The purpose of the Hermitage Team is to enable, encourage and support the seven churches in their shared objective of growing as Christ's people in their individual parishes. Our parishes are Cold Ash, Compton, East Ilsley, Frilsham, Hampstead Norreys, Hermitage and Yattendon.

"The parish of East Ilsley is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Oxford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services."
