Following this, he spent time in Skopje, Macedonia, working on literary and musical projects with Macedonian and Roma children, and afterwards worked for Oxfam. Since moving to London nearly two years ago he has worked as a research assistant to a Q.C. and for St Andrew’s, Holborn Circus, on their restoration project.

This a part-time post. David will normally be in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm, but these days will vary a little, depending on what is happening in the office and on other commitments.
I am delighted to have David as a permanent colleague. He has already done a great deal to streamline our administration and get things up to date, and we look forward to the contribution that he will make to the life and work of Forward in Faith in the months and years to come. ND
