Some interests and Contact details

Life in retirement remains busy.  Gill and I have become ambassadors for SAT-7, who help the Christians of the Middle East and North Africa (and a wide range of Christian traditions) to broadcast Christian good news to that region via satellite television – uncensored and widely received.  It is a brilliant use osat-7-logo-transparentf technology to enter where many people (like us!) would be unable to go, not understood and not acceptable.  Do have a look at their website:

and if you would like us to come and talk to your group about SAT-7, or to show the film “Closure” we would be delighted – we have the technology.

cap-logoAnother of my interests is the Swansea Debt Centre of Christians Against Poverty.  They offer free help to those in debt – which can be a frightening and apparently hopeless situation.  CAP is able to offer a fully professional, Christian service, supporting people at every stage of the journey to being debt free.

I am now working as treasurer of the local group, and still encouraging churches and individuals to understand how this work enables Christians to meet a real and pressing need in the community.  Do ask about it – or for someone to come and talk to a group or congregation.

Locally, I am involved with the Anglican Parishes that make up Llwchwr Ministry Area, and have set up a website to help them get to know one another and what is happening:

do visit! I take services in the newly formed Parish of Casllwchwr and Gorseinon, most often in St David’s Church, Loughor.

When I retired, I wanted an opportunity to meet “ordinary” people, and volunteered through Action on Hearing Loss (which has now returned to its former name the Royal National Institute for Deaf people) to do simple hearing aid repairs and servicing.  Though I do not (yet!) have a hearing problem, this provides a pleasant afternoon each week in a local hospital, working alongside the Audiology team, and after Covid we are now able again to run an outreach clinic in my local public Library.  RNID have a website explaining their activities.
