Jane Castle

Jane works as a Voluntary Schools Worker in several of the local first schools through sketchboarding assemblies – a means of communication to which children respond eagerly. They love to see the picture and words emerging in front of them highlighting the message and moral of the story. It is very encouraging to hear the questions and responses from the children.

Jane became a Trustee in January 2010, and supports all the volunteers in her role as the Volunteer Trustee (within the Ministry Support Sub-group) – meeting, supporting and encouraging all the volunteers whether they are working within the primary, secondary or office teams and working closely with the Team Leaders on this.

Jane is an authorised Methodist Preacher and a Licensed Preacher in Milton Keynes and beyond. She is well known for leading services where all ages worship together.

Jane has a passion for creativity and a pastoral nature. Combined with her involvement in Bridgebuilder, there is a natural relationship which provides support and encouragement for all the volunteer led activities that take place.

Jane has 20 years of teaching experience, and this has enabled her to share the Christian faith and values through creative and vibrant ways. Visiting a school each half term, and especially linking in with the major Christian festivals, gives continuity to the relationship she has with them.
