In May of 2023, Sara Hunter, a clergy spouse in Stepney Area, started a new role within the Diocese of London as Clergy Household Support Officer. Sara is adding to the work begun by others to try and improve the support offered to clergy spouses and partners in the whole diocese.
There is now in place a bi-monthly newsletter offering up to date information on housing, finances and wellbeing amongst other things, as well as offering opportunities to meet up and socialise with other clergy families, offering one another support and prayer.
We now have over 90 email addresses for clergy spouses/partners but there are many more out there in the diocese – so if you are a member of a clergy household and would like to stay in touch please email sara.hunter@london.anglican.org or if you know of someone who is, please do share this information with them.
Or you can join the Clergy Household Support mailing list by clicking here.
(Please note, this mailing list is for clergy spouses/partners and other adult household members only – it is not for clergy!)

Bishop’s Visitors
If you are the spouse or partner of a member of clergy and you are going through a divorce or partnership dissolution, there is someone provided by the bishop – a Bishop’s Visitor – to support you.
Their role is not to give advice. It is, however, to be alongside you as you identify your needs at this challenging and distressing time, and to signpost you to various sources of support. If you would like to be put in touch with a Bishop’s Visitor on a confidential basis, please use the following email address to request such support: bishops.visitors@london.anglican.org
