Jessica serves as our Parish Safeguarding Officer, bringing her background in education and safeguarding to help ensure that Christ Church is a place where everyone feels safe, supported, welcomed and included.

Outside of church, life is happily busy with her husband, Alex, their two children, Daniel and Ellie, and their budgie Rickby — who is firmly convinced that he is actually in charge of the household!

And she has one very strong opinion: most church meetings are definitely improved by the presence of cake!
