Episode 5
Following the lives of country vicars. With the dark days of winter drawing in, the clergy of Hereford Diocese are working hard to bring light into people's lives.
With the dark days of winter drawing in the clergy of Hereford Diocese are working hard to bring light into people's lives. In Shropshire Matthew Stafford is determined to meet the needs of an increasingly ageing population, informed partly by his own experience. His father-in-law has complex needs and is in a local care home, and he also visits a couple who are struggling with dementia. Matthew wants to help others with dementia by making the church more accessible and understanding.
Father Matthew Cashmore is ministering to the other end of the age spectrum in Hereford. He's joining the local team of street pastors, who take care of people who need help on a heavy night out.
In the Black Mountains, isolation in later life is a real problem. Vicar Nicholas keeps a check on the elderly in his scattered parish, and visits a local lunch club initiative that has made a real difference to people's lives.
