Someone to talk to…

When people ask me what I do as a chaplain, my short answer is simply: ‘I am someone to talk to…’

We all need people around us that we can talk to; share our highs and lows – fears and dreams, as well as the little details that make up our lives. My hope is that for the two days a week that I am at Numurkah Primary School, everyone knows there is an extra person to help and listen to them if they need an ear. As life gets busier, it is important to remember to stop and take time to listen – especially us adults! A child’s sense of worth and value is greatly enhanced when a significant adult takes time to listen to and affirm them.

Please come and see me if you have any questions about chaplaincy – or simply want a chat! Remember…we all need someone to talk to sometimes!
