Herefordshire Churches Tourism Group seeks Development Worker for innovative new project

Herefordshire Churches Together Group seeks to apppoint Development Worker for innovative new project!

Vowchurch & Turnastone PCC, in partnership with the Diocese of Hereford, is seeking to appoint a self-employed development worker for the Virtuous Circles Project.

We have secured a fund from the National Lottery Heritage Inspiring Ideas Programme to carry out some preparatory work to allow the project to move forward.

The Concept Virtuous Circles is an innovative new model for sustaining historically important places of worship. Many rural church buildings are beautiful and ancient, set in areas of great beauty and tranquillity, but are often underused and increasingly under threat.

The project was devised to find a sustainable use for some of these churches, including the insertion of holiday accommodation into the building to generate an income that will support the care and maintenance of the church building and the church community.
