Watch Archdeacon Martin, Archdeacon of Brighton and Lewes, also the Chair of our trustees, by clicking the button below explain the 'Hearing You Helpline'
Hearing You is a new phone help line launched by the Diocese of Chichester in partnership with Together in Sussex in response to the impact that Covid 19 has had on Just about the whole community. It aims to provide pastoral support and a listening ear to the recently bereaved and people directly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Hearing You will be staffed by volunteers trained in pastoral care and listening skills including clergy and licensed lay ministers.
All volunteer listeners will have completed safeguarding training with the Diocese of Chichester.
They will be able to point callers to other organisations offering specialist support if appropriate and also to parish clergy. Listeners will offer to pray for the caller or for their concerns.
The service will initially run until the end of May, from Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 7.00pm.
The number is: 01273 425047
