I am delighted to introduce myself as the new part-time administrator for Being Alongside, taking over from Lucy Roose. I come to the role with a background encompassing finance, administration and education in both the private and voluntary sectors.
I greatly appreciate the role that church, liturgy and community have in people’s lives and spend much time singing services in churches and cathedrals, choral evensong being my favourite!
I also steward at HM Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace, where I welcome visitors to this special place of prayer and help explain its historical and liturgical significance to the curious. I have long had an interest in matters of mental health, having studied psychology and neuroscience for my first degree, and I’m greatly looking forward to getting to know everyone at Being Alongside and helping to further the aims of the charity.
With many thanks to our previous administrator, Lucy Roose, for her hard work and dedication to Being Alongside over the past few years.
