Safeguarding

​

At St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Shoreham we take seriously our responsibilities to look after everyone who needs our help.

 

Our Parochial Church Council organise all aspects of parish life and the church is supported by a huge range of volunteers who look after the building and anyone who needs us.
