 Message from the Diocesan ICT Department:
We’d like to bring to your attention a concerning rise in scam emails targeting our parishioners. These emails impersonate the parish priest, often using a similar email name and masking the real email address. They typically request the recipient to purchase Amazon or other gift cards as gifts for the priest. Unfortunately, we have received reports of parishioners falling victim to these scams, with some individuals losing up to £600 to the fraudsters. Parishioners are asked: • Never to purchase gift cards as gifts for the parish priest, based on an email request, unless they have verified the request directly in person or through a trusted means • To double-check any suspicious email by directly contacting the parish office • To avoid sharing personal or financial information in response to unsolicited emails. If your parishioners encounter these emails, please encourage them to report them as spam and inform the parish office immediately  From the CBCEW: Newly-appointed Episcopal Secretary of the Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Nicholas Hudson, has written an article for his diocesan website celebrating Blessed Carlo Acutis’ connection to Westminster.

Accessibility - St. Bartholomew's does its utmost to accommodate those with additional needs. Whilst the main body of the church is wholly accessible to people with mobility disabilities, the choir gallery is both approached by stairs and the seating is then stepped by design. The church has a wheelchair-accessible toilet, and baby-changing facilities. There is a Loop System (AFIL) in place in the church.
