Hello! My name is Lauren Baxendale, and I'm really pleased to be joining Telford Methodist Circuit as your new Circuit Safeguarding Officer. I'll be working from home in this role, supporting and advising on safeguarding across the Circuit. Over the first few months, I'll be reviewing current processes and practices, with a focus on establishing training opportunities for volunteers working within the Telford Circuit,

My journey into this line of work has been an interesting one! I originally studied and worked as a textile designer, but this path, and a sense of calling in my faith, led me into youth work--a field I've found incredibly rewarding.

For the past 13 years, I've worked with children and young people from military families, and I continue to serve as a youth worker in the Stafford Methodist Circuit, where I've been based since 2012. I'm passionate about helping young people explore their aspirations and supporting them as they grow and thrive.

I live in Telford with my husband and our two young children. When I'm not working, I love staying active--whether that's walking, cycling, Pilates, or playing tennis. And like many, I'm always up for a good catch-up over coffee and cake!

I'm really looking forward to getting to know people across the Circuit. Please don't hesitate to reach out--it would be lovely to connect.

Every blessing,
Lauren
