What I am doing to 'rest well' this summer

I just finished a role in Parliament. After eight eventful years that included Brexit, five Prime Ministers, and a global pandemic, I have said goodbye to the (quite literally) gilded halls of the Palace of Westminster, choosing to accept the Lord’s will for me to move further into ministry at my church in East London.

My hope is that, alongside working for my church, I can continue to use my organisational management and leadership development skills to support organisations across all sectors.

I’m grateful for almost a decade of impactful projects in a very traditional organisation with many people who truly mean well. God’s grace to me was most evident at Parliament as I saw the Christian foundation of the United Kingdom, and as we all worked to consider and uphold the freedoms that Christ has generously bestowed our society.
