Welcome to the Diocese of Worcester.

Our diocesan vision is to grow as Kingdom People, sharing the good news of Jesus’ love in Worcestershire and Dudley.  

As the body of Christ, God’s Kingdom People, we join together to worship God, make disciples, share hope, and transform communities as we live out values of love, compassion, justice and freedom.

Making the most of Christmas opportunities to fuel growth

Daily Prayers

40 years of Maggs, Worcester

On this day in 1985, Maggs was founded as a sub-committee of All Saints’ Church in Worcester, responding to the growing need for practical and compassionate support for people experiencing homelessness. Forty years on,
Maggs continues to provide vital services across Worcestershire — including day centres, outreach, clothing provision, and long-term support — helping individuals rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

We give thanks for everyone who has played a role in Maggs’ journey: from the founders to the staff, volunteers, churches, supporters, and the resilient individuals we walk alongside every day.

Please pray for the continued work of Maggs, for all who are without a safe place to call home this winter, and for wisdom and compassion to shape the next 40 years of this vital mission.
