Avening with Cherington
Welcome to the Benefice of Avening with Cherington!
We are two worshipping communities in the Nailsworth Valley, seeking to serve the people of our parishes. We are merging with another group of churches to become the Benefice of Minchinhampton with Commons and Vale, so details from the various church pages may overlap.

Safeguarding
The Benefice of Avening with Cherington is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Gloucester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
