My name is Wendy Bunting and I have the privilege of being employed by this circuit and the neighbouring Darlington and Teesdale Circuit as a Primary Schools Chaplain. My work is primarily in the three local Methodist schools – Richmond, Gunnerside and Melsonby – offering support to staff, pupils and the wider community connected with each school.
I spent most of my adult life as a primary teacher (25 years service) in and around Darlington prior to joining the Scargill Community down in Wharfedale where I had responsibility for leading their youth and children's work, while also fulfilling roles in admin, leading sung worship and running entertainment evenings. The main function of the Scargill Community is hospitality and I loved making people feel welcome, safe and accepted. I was at Scargill for 7 years before feeling called to apply for the chaplaincy job here.
As a single person, settling into a new place can feel daunting, but I have been made to feel very welcome in my new home in Richmond and am excited to see what God has in store for me here!
