We will start the day at 9.30am with training on “Exploring Trust in Counselling and Pastoral Care” by our Chair Sue Monckton-Rickett; the AGM itself will take place from 1pm to 4pm.
This two-session course is designed to equip pastoral carers to support their own holistic wellbeing. Supporting wellbeing is essential for pastoral carers as it protects carers from overload, compassion fatigue and burnout. As such, it also supports the ministry of pastoral care to be safe and sustainable for both the pastoral carer and those being cared for.
Workshop aim: To enable individuals, churches and Christian organisations involved in the ministry of pastoral care, to develop their understanding and application of good practice, so that it can be offered safely, effectively and with integrity.

Please join us for an ACC guided retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Launde Abbey. We are inviting ACC members to come away for a time of relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation. We hope that this will be a time for members to take time to pause and reflect in November 2025. More information will follow nearer the time.
Aim of training: The purpose of this training session is to equip and enable pastoral carers and ministers to accompany those within our churches and communities who are at the end of their life.
