This month we hear from Ann Honey, who is the Church Related Community Worker (CRCW) for the CRCW project at St. Columba's United Reformed Church in Billingham.

Ann reflects on her first year in Billingham and says: We “get to know” the church we’re working with, the people in and around it – and they “get to know” us. I believe it’s where projects are made – right at the start, when we make the relationships that set the tone and try to work out where the project might lead."

"Community work, as with life, is all about relationships."

Ann shares 3 'little things that are actually 3 really big things' that stay with her and provide an indication of how she is getting on in her first year of this new project. To find out more, Ann's reflection: Getting to know You' can be read here. (PDF)
