Helen Westwood, Church Secretary.
Helen is the newest member of the Elm Ridge staff having started work at Elm Ridge in March 2007:
"I graduated from Leeds University with a degree in animal management – a strange title but it was pretty much biology with business and law thrown in. I have worked with the elderly and disabled as a home care assistant and got half way through teacher training to teach biology in secondary schools prior to coming to Elm Ridge. I volunteer at Pierremont Methodist Church’s children’s club ‘The Zone’, which I love and I have also helped with cell groups and youth Alpha courses there. I enjoy sports, especially swimming, for which I used to swim for Darlington and the North East in days past."
Helen is based in the Church Office, and is your first point of contact if you telephone or visit Elm Ridge during the week.
