Diocese of Salisbury

A partnership between Canford Magna Parish Church and Canford School has seen a previously inaccessible stretch of the River Stour in Canford Magna opened to visitors with mobility impairments for the first time.

The Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Revd Nicholas Holtam, helped launch the project, and said: “This project enables the diversity of God’s creation to be enjoyed by the wonderful diversity God has created in humanity.”

Canon Chris Tebbutt, Team Rector of Canford Magna, added: “The idea behind Kingfisher is to make everything God and all he has given us accessible to everyone. The project boosts inclusion, wellbeing, our environment and, at its best, our spirituality.”
