Most organisations we work alongside don’t just offer support for clergy, they also do their best to provide assistance to everyone within a clergy household. This includes spouses and partners, as well as dependent children.
The Clergy Support Trust not only provides support to Anglican clergy (serving and retired) and ordinands, they also support their families, through things like wellbeing grants and independent school fees.
Health Assured also works with clergy households, offering a 24/7 helpline, as well as advice and support in a number of areas.
Spouses and partners of clergy can additionally get in touch with the Clergy Partners Network, which provides a space for partners to meet and support each other. You can reach them by emailing clergypartners@winchesterdiocese.org.
Spouses and partners of clergy can also contact one of the Bishop’s Visitors who offer confidential and pastoral support as well as more focused support in times of separation or divorce.
