Coat of Hopes

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St George's Church, Fordington
High Street Fordington, Dorchester Dorchester, DT1 1LB, United Kingdom

Come and join us for Breakfast at St George's Church to see, wear, and hear the stories and song of the Coat of Hopes.
After Breakfast, see the Coat of on its way west, join the walk for 10 minutes or the whole day to Hilfeld Friary.
The Coat of Hopes is an ever growing patchwork garment on a long term pilgrimage through the UK, towards the end of the climate and ecological emergency.
It has been made, worn and walked by many hundreds of people, for a distance of over 2000 miles so far, carrying their hopes for the places they live in the face of climate and ecological breakdown.
The Coat is made up of pieces of blanket into which people have worked their griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes for the places they call home. It carries a space in which to be present, and remember our shared responsibility as we face this climate and ecological emergency together.
All are welcome to wear the Coat of Hopes!

Safeguarding

Our parish of Dorchester and West Stafford is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Salisbury’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. 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.
