Ian looks after our buildings and everything to go with them!

He is recognisable around Romiley in his bright blue van, as he moves stuff and sets things up for St Chad's (and for many older people in our community!).

Hannah is the Young Families Lead at St Chad’s, overseeing Mini Chadders—a role she stepped into in 2025 with a heart for supporting parents and carers and helping children thrive.

As a mum of three, she understands the joys and challenges of family life. She’s passionate about building community, offering encouragement, and making sure everyone feels seen and supported.

Anna joined St Chad’s in 2025 and has a heart for walking alongside young people as they discover who God has created them to be.

She is deeply committed to helping young people grow in confidence, build strong friendships, and step boldly into their God-given gifts. Anna believes prayer and God’s Word are the foundation for overcoming challenges, deepening faith, and living in the true freedom that only Jesus offers.

When she’s not with the youth, Anna loves exploring the beauty of the Peak District—whether hiking the trails or out fell running.
