Rachel Marshall
Children's Work Co-Ordinator
I joined St Chad's in 2022 and began co-ordinating the children's club in 2023. I'm married to Tim and we have two children, Norah and Rowan. I teach English Literature and Language, and sing in a local choir. I love reading, singing, getting out into nature and at the moment all things DIY!

Simon Heal
Head of Resources
I joined St Chad’s in 2022, having first volunteered with Hope Central, something I continue to do. I became DBS Administrator in 2023 and joined the PCC the following year, with responsibility for overseeing the maintenance and resources of the church.
I’m married to Wendy, who manages the church café and serves on the flower arranging team. Before retiring in 2020, I enjoyed a long and successful career in IT, working across a range of roles and organisations. When not volunteering, Wendy and I enjoy walking and holidays, both in the UK and abroad.
