Trust Treasurer

Christine (Chris) Bull

Chris had a working background that provides invaluable experience to key objectives of our partners Africa Greater Life Mission.  She commenced working life as a secondary school science teacher and when her own children came along provided private tuition lessons to local GCSE and A level students in maths and chemistry.  Following a short spell as a Development Officer for the Pre-School Playgroups Association in Wales, Chris then worked with the Care and Repair Agencies in Powys for 20 years. Chris undertook the role of Area Manager for the southern half of the county as well as responsibility for the finances for the organisation. She retired from paid employment in 2012. Her understanding of accounting procedures, finances, administration and purchasing is clearly of tremendous benefit to the charity but her education background is hugely beneficial when it comes to placing students in secondary schools and seeing them through to the culmination of formal education. Her qualifications include:

BSc(Hons)Chemistry and p/g certificate in Education.

Within the UK, she has worked in orthopaedics, A & E and district nursing, the latter including project management of a Hospital at Home Scheme in Leicester. During the last 9 years she has been a District Nurse (Team Leader) in Powys.
