However careful we are to create safer spaces, it is likely that some people will feel the need for a pastoral conversation as a result of their engagement with the LLF process.
Many may feel able to speak to their local clergy. For those who would like a listening pastoral ear from outside of their local context, please find below the contact details of people happy to offer this.
Please note that this is simply an offer of chaplaincy and not a referral system for safeguarding disclosures or therapeutic support.
