Manage episode 485496016 series 3666892
In this special episode of Rotherham Real Talk, host Daryl Horsfall speaks with Rev. Canon Phil Batchford, Vicar of Rotherham Minster, about faith, heritage, and the bold steps being taken to reimagine this historic site as a hub for hope and community.
We shine a spotlight on the "Leap of Faith Abseil" — a thrilling fundraising event on June 7th, where participants will abseil from the iconic bell tower into the heart of the Minster itself.
All proceeds go toward the Building Hope in the Heart of Rotherham Appeal — a major campaign to transform the Minster into a more inclusive, accessible, and inspiring space for all who call Rotherham home.
