Since my retirement in July 2020, I’ve been looking into ways of helping and supporting people. It’s a huge privilege to come alongside people, especially in times of family joy or sorrow. I’m continuing to fulfil my vocation as a Salvation Army Officer in new circumstances.

It’s one of things I’ve actively chosen to do in retirement to serve my local community, the other is being a school governor. The latter is pending but it’s on the horizon. I’m also learning Spanish with Duolingo, and I eventually hope to be able to use this to help others.

14/03/22 Update: I’ve rediscovered something special about my vocation as a Salvation Army Officer today, and in retirement it’s unencumbered by all the other mundane duties of work.
