What we do

We have changed – our previous offering, which primarily focused on Physical health referrals with some (fewer) Psychological heath referrals, has broadened.

Staying true to our objectives

Having undertaken research and subsequent evaluation, we are adopting a more balanced strategy with equal focus on both Physical health referrals and Psychological health referrals (and some ongoing support to fund treatments).

In developing our clear vision and mission, we have simply remained true to our charitable objectives and used these as the foundation for a strategic plan for the medium and long term. In the medium term, we have developed an approach to take us through to mid-2013. By then, we plan to have fully regained our momentum and be offering physical and psychological health referrals to as many members of the clergy and their families as we can.

We will further develop our website, to create a ‘hub’ of information relating to the health and wellbeing of the clergy and their families – signposting the visitor to available support organisations other than our own, and providing them with clear, appropriate information on issues that may be causing them concern.

Health and wellbeing for the clergy and their family

We recognise that in order to offer the greatest level of support, we will need to work in partnership with a range of organisations to deliver services in a manner that is in keeping with our values.

In caring for the clergy we are uniquely placed to identify common themes relating to their health and wellbeing, which we will be committed to sharing at a diocesan level to aid the development of broad, clergy related issues that can be addressed and considered by them as employers. We shall do this while retaining total confidentiality in relation to our beneficiaries.

As ever, we remain focused on providing support to individual clergy members and their families – we will undertake all our activity in total confidence and ensure that our partners operate in the same fashion.

To secure the future of St Luke’s and the continuation of our work, we have developed an agile communications and fundraising strategy which we will monitor and develop as we move forward.
