I retired two years ago from a long nursing career working predominantly as a community mental
health nurse in older people’s services.I am now privileged and blessed to work as Missioner having previously been a volunteer.

Darlington Town Mission is very close to my heart as my late Dad was also a Missioner for many
years.

Having a caring heart for others is central to all I strive to do.

My role is so rewarding everyday
seeing the difference we make to the lives of our wonderful friends by providing companionship,
encouragement, friendship and alleviating loneliness.

I also lead 1st Darlington Girls Brigade Company – we have around 60 children each Friday so I
love to be busy.

I’m a member of Cockerton Methodist Church.
I am married to Neil, have two children Bethany and James and a Yorkshire Terrier Reggie !
