Pastoral Care

The pastoral care team in our charity supports the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of staff, volunteers, and residents. They offer a safe space to talk, provide crisis support, and ensure people feel valued and cared for during difficult times. 

 

Our Brief

• Listening Support: Offer confidential, non-judgmental listening and a safe place to share personal struggles.

• Emotional Care: Help people cope with stress, grief, burnout, or major life changes.

• Signposting: Connect individuals to professional counseling, mental health services, or external agencies when needed.

• Crisis Response: Provide immediate comfort and presence during personal or organisational emergencies.

• Team Morale: Promote a culture of empathy, kindness, and mutual support across the residents and Charity.

• We hold 3 to 4 open meetings a year at the Almshouse with refreshments for our residents to join us for a chat and a cuppa.

 

Who They Help
