Previously I served 4 years as Curate in Belper (near Derby), and then I was Vicar in the Hope Valley (Hathersage, Bamford and Grindleford churches) for just over 6 years. With a background in youth and children's work I have a desire to see all ages know Jesus and grow as disciples. I also look to resource and develop people as leaders, and to create opportunities for people to encounter God for themselves. Living with a disability (Cerebral Palsy), I have an interest in what it means to believe in God who heals, and yet I still remain disabled. I am a founding member of a user-led group, delivering training to churches and organisations on issues of disability awareness and access to all, 'Disability and Jesus' I was appointed 'Bishops Advisor on Disability and Inclusion' to the Sheffield Diocese in 2016 I am part of 'New Wine' - a network of evangelical churches http://www.new-wine.org/ I am the founder of the 'Clergy Mummies' Group on Facebook And I love narrowboats, my husband, my son, real ale, and Jesus...!
