She is now acting Curriculum Manager and SEND and Early Years Lead for Southwark Music Service.She writes:"I am absolutely delighted to have been appointed as Director of Music and to be joining the community of St Faith’s. I have lived nearby in South London for nearly ten years now, and look forward to working locally in this brilliant area. I am excited to contribute to the musical life of the church and to begin working with the choristers of the Children’s Choir, developing further enriching opportunities for them. I hope to build upon existing connections with local schools and organisations as a means of bringing the local community together through shared musical experiences. I can’t wait to meet everyone, get started and join St Faith’s."Please pray for Fiona as she prepares to begins her work here in just a few weeks' time, and for the parish as this exciting new chapter begins.
