A message from Bishop Rachel, Bishop Robert and Benjamin Preece-Smith
We are pleased to be able to share that we have now exchanged on the new diocesan offices at Hillfield House, Denmark Road, Gloucester.
The plans aim to reduce long-term expenditure, provide a more suitable and accessible working environment and provide a better welcome to all from across our diocese.
Contracts have been exchanged on Hillfield House, Denmark Road in Gloucester, a building that was formerly used as diocesan offices in the 1920s.
The property will be owned outright by the Gloucester Diocesan Board of Finance (GDBF) and will allow our diocesan teams including the Bishops, Archdeacons, GDBF, Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) and Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust (DGAT) to work together under one roof.
There will be cost savings from owning our office building, complete with staff and accessible visitor parking. There will be accessible toilets, meeting rooms, office space and kitchen space on the ground floor, improving our ability to welcome visitors.
Please see below an FAQ which we hope includes all the information you need for now.
We will share regular updates on the progression of the move in the Bulletin and also the Clergy and Readers’ WhatsApp. If you would like to discuss the situation further, please do contact Lucy Taylor, Deputy Diocesan Secretary on ku.gr1739215987o.coi1739215987dsolg1739215987@roly1739215987atl1739215987
