Diocesan staff and parish ‘experts’ will share information and knowledge in these sessions in the format of a short presentation or Q&A format, both followed by your questions. Please book to attend these free sessions on topics such as Funding & Grants, Parish Giving Scheme (with PGS CEO), Festival of Suffolk Photography, and Legacies on Eventbrite here (more topics to follow). If you have any questions, please contact Julie Podd. Resources
