Safeguarding at St John's

We have a trained team of people at St John's Church Stanmore who are involved in keeping the children and adults at risk safe?  Whilst the PCC have overall responsibility, they appointed Mark Lynch and Nancy Newton to receive any disclosures (historical or new), Sue Wright to act as Children's Champion and Sheila Oliver to act as our Adults at Risk Champion.  Sue and Sheila help to ensure that the children and adults at risk needs are always considered.

Contact numbers for Mark, Nancy, Sue and Sheila are listed here.  There are also posters in the Church and Church House which provide various telephone numbers of where help can be obtained if required.  For more information on Safeguarding at St John's please Click Here.

Tower Stonework Project

Over the past two years, the PCC has been preparing for a large and costly stonework project on the church tower. Rosewood have been appointed as the contractor
and work is due to start on 5th October 2026. The tower will be covered in scaffolding for around six months. As part of the work, the clock dial will be painted and work
will be undertaken on the flagpole.  To ensure safety, footpaths will be closed around the church. Access to the church will be via Rectory Lane.
Ramped access will continue to be available through the tower door, accessed via the lych gate.
