Religious and spiritual support - Rutland

There are many sources of spiritual support in Rutland, both for people who are preparing for end of life and for those who are left behind.
 
At a time when few things make sense anymore, spirituality and religion can offer great solace and help you stay in touch with a supportive community. It can help you find purpose and direction and it can also help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. Speaking to others within your faith can help you place the challenges you face in context with your faith and enable you to move to a point where you can accept what is happening in your life.

Use the following links to find a list of useful contacts for faith-based support that is available in Rutland. There are many organisations that can help you as a wide range of faiths are very well supported in both counties.
