There is a small but dedicated team of staff. We all need your prayers!
Paul Hazelden
Paul used to run software projects in the insurance industry, and has been part of the team leadership of several churches. He helped create and deliver the Snowball training programme for Europe Now, which is part of Open Air Campaigners.
Paul joined CCM in October 2000. He is involved in a number of networking roles, serving on the Steering Group of BCAN (the Bristol Christian Action Network) and the BCAN Homeless Forum, and as a Vice-Chair of Voscur (Bristol's Council for Voluntary Services).
Outside CCM, Paul is married to Sue. They have three boys. They are a part of Highgrove Church. Paul is on the Board of the Sea Mills and Coombe Dingle Community Project, and in his spare time maintains an extensive personal web site, with articles, general resources, and information about the other areas he and Sue are involved in.
Trudie Lane
Trudie has been with CCM almost since the beginning. For many years, Trudie was responsible for running the office, doing the admin, writing most of the publicity, organising prayer support, coordinating the office volunteers, and much of the other practical work that keeps CCM running.
However, since January 2006, Trudie has been concentrating on pastoral care, both providing support and encouragement to our clients and also helping the volunteers to provide appropriate and effective support.
Trudie is trained as a counsellor, and is also part of the group that is responsible for planning the Bridgehead meetings
Andy Luxford
Andy took over responsibility for the LITE course in 1999.
Over the Summer of 2001, Andy undertook a major review of the LITE Course and re-worked much of the material, re-structuring the way it is organised and presented, and adding in new units on important topics.
Andy has undertaken a range of training in life skills delivery and drug awareness.
Alan Goddard
Alan took over from James Preston in May 2007. He brings a wealth of experience, having volunteered for us for several years, worked as a Duty Manager for several evenings, then going on to work for the Salvation Army and for Alabaré.
Alan also runs the Life Recovery Group that meets on our premises every Friday evening.
Lisa Mannion
Lisa started working for us in March 2008 after volunteering in the Coffee Shop for about a year.
Claire Collins
Claire joined us in December 2006, working three mornings a week. She took over from Lisa, and keeps the office running. She also helps, from time to time, with the more 'hands-on' areas of our work - in the Coffee Shop, on the LITE Course and in other ways.
