This term we have welcomed Natasha Wood and Tim Cutting to our staff team.

Natasha is our new part-time Primary Schools Worker at Bridgebuilder, working alongside Rachel Foster Monday to Wednesday, and replacing Elyse Sayle.

Having spent 15 years in business banking, this is a new and exciting challenge for Natasha and a fantastic opportunity to continue developing Bridgebuilder’s work in MK’s primary schools.

Natasha has spent a number of years working with young people in her local church (Newport Pagnell Baptist Church) and has taken the youth group away on weekends to Rock UK and Soul Survivor.  She has also been involved in Sunday School teaching and co-ordinated the church crèche for a number of years.  Over the past 10 years, Natasha has had the pleasure of presenting both Christmas and Easter Cracked to approximately 300 Year 6 children from local schools in Newport Pagnell, which has been a highlight in her church activities. Natasha is getting stuck in with schools assemblies, retreat days and helping to equip churches to connect with their local schools.

Familiar faced Tim Cutting is our temporary part-time Secondary Schools Worker working alongside Becky on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Tim Cutting was our first schools worker when we started back in 1993.  About 8 years ago Tim left to work for Mission India.  Following that he became involved in Church leadership.  More recently he is balancing 4 jobs as Welfare Officer at MK Dons, Discipleship Pastor at Whaddon Way Church, Private Chauffeur and now part-time Secondary Schools Worker at Bridgebuilder Trust.  Tim kindly stepped in to fill the gap after Becky took on the additional role of Key Fundraiser two days a week at the start of this term.  Tim is covering assemblies and schools work on the days Becky is doing Fundraising and he is helping us with church connections.
