Well, it’s been a long time coming but I can finally let you all know about my job change.
I’ve been working for Spurgeons at The WIRE since I was 19 and trained on the job as a youth and community worker. Over these 8 years I’ve learnt and experienced so much, that I can’t really express it adequately here. The main part of my role has been to run various clubs and activities for children and young people in the local area but with a focus on the disadvantaged, disenfranchised and excluded. Because of this ‘general’ role over this length of time, I know most of the families and young people in some capacity and it’s been a difficult process to close The WIRE and stop the activities.
Nevertheless, I am very excited about the future and as of April 1st I will be employed by Arun Community Church. I have a looong history with ACC having attended with my parents since I was around 3, so It’ll be good to work for an organisation I know so well. My new role will be Youth & Schools worker with responsibility for the pastoral care of the church young people (alongside other volunteers), overseeing the Extended Schools programme, and developing ongoing schools work. Due to Spring Harvest, Easter and a Residential Weekend with the youth group, my first day in the office will be Monday 16th April.
Over the next few months I hope to take some time to think, plan and pray plus I hope to visit other projects doing similar work. Let me know if you have time for me to come and visit!

New word press install? Or, did you just feel like a new theme? Anyway I’m glad the job has finally been confirmed. First day April 16? Who knows, it’s possible although unlikely that we may both start on the same day.
I’ll be blogging an update soonish.
