Children and Families Mission

My name is Louise Britton and I am a Children & Families worker for Mottram and Hattersley parishes.

I am a married mum of four and all my children have attended Mottram C of E and loved it!

It’s a total privilege to get to spend time with all the children here each week, whether that’s in Collective Worship, running clubs or helping with activities in school.

When I’m not working, I love family time, coffee shops, sunshine and new pyjamas!
