A day at Lambeth Palace

We are delighted to celebrate Frances and her many years of faithful service to our young people—a commitment that has now been formally recognised in a truly special way.

Frances has dedicated countless hours to supporting, encouraging, and investing in the lives of young people within our community. Her passion, consistency, and care have made a lasting impact, helping shape generations with kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support. For many, Frances has been more than a leader—she has been a mentor, a role model, and a steady presence through life’s ups and downs.

In recognition of her incredible contribution, Frances was invited to spend the day at Lambeth Palace, a moment that reflects the significance of her service not just within our church, but more widely. During this special occasion, she was commended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, a fitting acknowledgement of the dedication and heart she has shown over the years.

It was a day of celebration, honour, and well-deserved recognition—one that highlights just how valued Frances’ work has been. While awards and ceremonies are meaningful, those who know Frances will agree that her greatest legacy is found in the lives she has impacted and the relationships she has built.

We are so grateful for Frances and all that she has given. Her example continues to inspire us, and we celebrate this moment with her as a church community.

Thank you, Frances, for everything—you have truly made a difference.
