Communications and Engagement

LIFE Together is about sharing our stories in new and different ways so people will know the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Communications and Engagement Team helps being our diocesan vision to life through inspiring stories, practical resources and clear communication.

We create publications, produce articles, photography and video, support parish communications, and work with local and national media to share the stories that matter across our diocesan community.

Share your stories

What’s going on in your area? We’re always looking for stories that celebrate the faith, creativity and impact of worshipping communities across the Diocese of Gloucester. Innovative projects, community initiatives, special events or inspiring stories of walking with God, we’d love to hear from you.

Send your story in via email

Media support

We are available to advise and support you on all media queries and communication, whether you have a local story that you would like to promote or need help in dealing with a journalist’s request.

We can assist you to manage any potential or current media issues. We can advise you most effectively if we are involved in the situation from an early stage, so please contact us as soon as possible. If you receive a call from a journalist that you do not feel comfortable dealing with, take the journalist’s contact details, the nature of their query and the deadline that they are writing to and get in touch with us so we can respond to them directly.
