We still need your views!

St Mary’s is continuing to gather responses to our community survey, and we would love to hear from more local families, children, young people, parents, carers and those who work with them.

The survey is helping us understand local needs more clearly, so that we can think carefully about how St Mary’s can support families and serve our community in the years ahead.

Even if you do not come to church, your views are very welcome — in fact, they are especially helpful. We want to listen well to the wider community, not just to those we already know.

As a thank you, you'll be entered into a draw for a £30 Morrisons voucher.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey, and do share it with others who may have something to say.

This weekend two of our lovely lay ministers, Ellen & Vic, had the opportunity to introduce the Archbishop of Canterbury to chaplaincy with the ambulance service. Not only were they on the actual TV, but they also got to feature on the BBC news app! Will their heads even fit through the door now?!...

There’s still time to have your say
Thank you to everyone who has already completed our church and community survey. We’re really grateful.
We would still love to hear from more people — especially those who live nearby, use the building, come to occasional services or events, have children connected with St Mary’s, or simply care about the future of this part of Gravesend.
The survey only takes a few minutes, but it will help us listen properly: what people value, what needs there are in the community, and how St Mary’s can serve local people better in the years ahead.
Everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw for £30 of Morrisons vouchers.
Please do fill it in, and share it with friends, neighbours, family members, community groups and anyone else who may have something to say.
