After gaining a Joint Honours degree in Physics and Philosophy I enjoyed a 33 year career in teaching in Comprehensive Schools. On retiring I took up employment as an Interfaith Development Worker, a post paid by the Presbyterian Church of Wales and Community House PCW.
I have a passion for interfaith work and although now retired I still do a lot of voluntary work in this field, together with other members of Community House.
I think that the aim of Alice Foundation, to build a church for Christians and a school for local children of all faiths is an admirable one. As a board, we are so delighted that Muslim friends, as well as Christians are supportive of our project.
