New Electoral Roll Application

2025 is a very important year for the Church of England as every parish is required to compile a new Electoral Roll. This happens every six years. This means that any person who wishes to have his or her name entered on the new roll (whether it is entered on the present roll or not) is required to reapply.  

Being on the Electoral Roll is an important way of confirming your commitment to the worshipping community of the Parish and to help develop the vision for the church. The Roll is also used to determine eligibility for attendance and participation at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and for election to the Parochial Church Council. It is also used to determine eligibility for election to the Deanery, Diocesan and General Synod. 

Applications to join the new Electoral Roll must be made by 26th April 2025 when the current Roll will become obsolete.

You can apply to be on the new Electoral Roll by:

1. Completing an online form by scanning or clicking on the QR code below

2. Requesting a paper form from the welcome team on a Sunday

Data protection is of the highest priority and the only people who have access to the information provided in the Electoral Roll are: Clergy; the Church Wardens; the PCC Secretary; the Parish Manager/Administrator; the Electoral Roll Officer. We are however required to publish the names of all those on the register for a period of 14 days prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) on Sunday 11th May 2025.  This will be published in an electronic form.

You can of course be a full and active member of the Parish without being on the Roll, but we hope that you will accept this invitation to join with others in the church family to demonstrate that you belong to a vibrant worshipping community.
