Hello, my name is Joanne (Jo) Leigh. I have lived in Wellington most of my life, and both my
parents are from local villages. I have two grown up children and was sadly widowed last
year after 37 wonderful years with my husband.
Career wise, I have been employed in social care for around 30 years, working with children,
elderly and most recently adults with learning disabilities acquired from brain injury or
mental health issues.
My spare time is taken up with my many pets, travelling in my motor home and indulging
my love of walking the highways and byways where I feel closest to my faith.
As you know I am very new to the role of Churchwarden, but I hope that with your support,
guidance, and prayers I can serve the church well, support you where I can, and help move
us forward into the next exciting chapter of the St John's Church life.
