St Luke’s offers independent psychological support to clergy and their families, particularly where needs are complex, sensitive, or difficult to place elsewhere.
As dioceses and partners have continued to develop local wellbeing provision, we are taking time to clarify and strengthen St Luke’s distinctive role, with a particular focus on areas of more complex and clinical need.
Temporary pause on new referrals
As part of this work, we have temporarily paused new referrals to our psychological grants and services.
This pause allows us to review and refine our clinical pathways, governance, and quality frameworks, so that our support remains clear, appropriate, and well‑held. It is a period of careful development, not withdrawal.
Continuing care and signposting
We want to reassure beneficiaries that:
- Anyone currently receiving support through St Luke’s will continue to be supported. Please do email medical@stlukesforclergy.org.uk.
- Our focus during this period is on holding existing relationships well
Alongside this, we are actively signposting to diocesan provision and trusted partners, including Clergy Support Trust, where these are better placed to help at this time.
Looking ahead
We are using this period for thoughtful, behind‑the‑scenes work, informed by listening and collaboration. Updates will be shared here as this work progresses.
St Luke’s remains committed to serving clergy and their families with care, independence, and professionalism. This will include continuing to provide grants and services for independent psychological support after this short period.
National charities and organisations listed here can also be helpful and may be worth contacting for specific assistance.
We hope you find these resources and links helpful. However, a listing does not necessarily convey a formal endorsement by St Luke’s for Clergy Wellbeing
