IBEX is a charity dedicated to helping churches find ways to use their resources and spaces to support their community. 

We do this by liaising with churches of all denominations to guide them identify their community needs, sharing stories of good practise and providing advice, signposting and resources to help to integrate faith into the local economy.

Our Chaplaincy Development Coordinator, Lisa Thomas, is an ordained Anglican minister and active member of multiple chaplaincy networks within Hampshire and Dorset.

Our Church in the Community Coordinator, Esther Ridsdale, is spearheading our campaign to ensure wellbeing is present within churches as well as the community. 

Her wealth of knowledge is a valuable resource to anyone wishing to learn how to support mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing in their local community.
