I love being a celebrant – it brings together many of my skills and I am constantly learning new ways to celebrate the important events in people’s lives. Writing unique ceremonies and reading poetry which reflect the way that people feel about each other, is a great privilege.

It gives me great pleasure to meet so many wonderful people, who tell me all about their lives. It’s great to help people through important life events and to see the delight on their faces when their non religious ceremony turns out just the way they wanted.

A career in the public sector spanning almost 30 years, provides a solid foundation for making sure that you get an excellent service. When I took early retirement I trained to become a Humanist Celebrant and believe that my previous experience has enhanced the work I now do.

Humanist values are important to me and my large extended family, so is living in Yorkshire.

I believe that we can all make a difference in this world and writing non religious ceremonies for family's in Yorkshire is one of the ways that I can make a positive contribution.
