My name is Allison Harding and I am the Vicar at St Michael's and St Mary's in Newburn.  I was happy to take over as Chair of Governors and Trustees, having been Vice Chair and then Interim Chair for some time.  When I was asked to consider becoming a Trustee I already had a full work load so I had to consider it carefully making sure I could give my full commitment. The children are the reason I am so invested in Talbot House, they are so honest, personable and courageous.  Before I was a Vicar I worked as a homelessness officer, education welfare officer and probation officer. As a probation officer, I worked with young people and being part of Talbot House Children's Charity gives me a tangible way to make a real difference in our community.

​

I hope my note may inspire some of you to ask yourself, how can I do more for the children within the trust, please drop me a line, it would be lovely to chat about it, my email is, revallisonharding@gmail.com 

 

Thanks

Rev Allison
