Geoff’s story

Geoff’s story travels from India to Australia as an army child, to teaching, to the stage. 

Even though Geoff has some hearing challenges from a childhood illness he hasn’t let it get in the way of teaching, acting, singing and performing live! Entertaining children as ‘Cowboy Joe’ and ‘Captain Jack the Pirate’ and even performing in Liverpool in the 1960’s on the same stage the Beatles were to grace the following week. From guitar playing in the dormitory at school to the Philharmonic and the Edinburgh Fringe.

You’ll probably catch him these days at a local open mic near you! 

A life being lived.

PJ’s story

PJ’s story is a story of variety. A variety of places, of reinvention and renewal.

Coventry to Rugby to Ipswich to Portmeirion and Chester. It’s about her roles working and being around children and animals, and supporting and caring for others.

It’s about the challenges of families and the stories that a life writes. It involves creating memories, and about how learning new skills connected with our passions can give us joy and fulfil our inner soulful needs, from scrabble to singing as a community of people. 

What better future could there be enjoying simple pleasures with friends and a chance to get involved organising a good project! (as long as it doesn’t involve aeroplanes!)
