In this special episode of Rotherham Real Talk, host Daryl Horsfall speaks with Rev. Canon Phil Batchford, Vicar of Rotherham Minster, about faith, heritage, and the bold steps being taken to reimagine this historic site as a hub for hope and community.
We shine a spotlight on the "Leap of Faith Abseil" — a thrilling fundraising event on June 7th, where participants will abseil from the iconic bell tower into the heart of the Minster itself.
All proceeds go toward the Building Hope in the Heart of Rotherham Appeal — a major campaign to transform the Minster into a more inclusive, accessible, and inspiring space for all who call Rotherham home.
🕊️ In this episode:
- The Minster’s role in Rotherham’s past, present, and future
- How faith and action intersect in supporting the town
- Details about the upcoming Leap of Faith Abseil Event
- The vision behind the Building Hope Appeal
- How the community can get involved and make a difference
Whether you're a history lover, a person of faith, or someone passionate about local causes, this episode shares how one of Rotherham’s most iconic buildings is taking a literal and symbolic leap into the future.
