A Local Ecumenical Partnership, sponsored by Churches Together in Derbyshire to carry forward the ministry of the Church in relation to Work and the Workplace. It is the body responsible for accrediting clergy and authorised laity on behalf of the Bishop and Church Leaders to visit and minister to individual workplaces. Appointments are made in conjunction with employers. The Partnership is also engaged in helping Parishes to make the link between faith and work.
