Simon May, Chair

I have been a probation officer in Southampton for 7 years, currently in a MAPPA Unit.  An exciting vision has evolved for the work of CIP. As Chair, I want to try to take a strategic view and enable others to join in to meet the challenge of the Christian voice being heard again within the service.

Les Nuttall, Vice Chair

God called me into Faith Missionary work for twenty years, seeing many saved, healed and delivered. That same call rests on my life having qualified as a Probation Officer three years ago, based in Liverpool. Gods desire is to Change people’s lives.

Jacqui Markie, Secretary

I qualified as a Probation Officer about 6 years ago and have worked in the community and MAPPA team in Southampton. I have recently taken up a post at HMP Kingston working with life-sentenced prisoners. I got involved with PSCF in November 2007 following news that the fellowship was considering folding due to a lack of apparent interest. Having been involved in prayer groups in Southampton for sometime and after a bit of research with Simon May (Chair) we discovered that there are around 40 Christians working in Probation in Hampshire many of whom were attending a local prayer group or expressed an interest in being involved with one. I don't believe Hampshire is unique in this and so I'm keen to see PSCF work to identify Christians working in the probation service, help them to network, form prayer groups in which they can offer each other support and prayer for our colleagues and the service in the challenging work that we engage in day in and day out. I've joined the committee in the role as Secretary and hope that through this role I can work with others on the Exec to see the numerous ideas that we have to develop the fellowship come to fruition - it's exciting times!

My name is Janet Mouland. I'm a Probation Officer working in generic offender management for Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Trust. I've been a Christian since 1981 and currently worship in a Methodist Church on the outskirts of Leicester. I have been the Treasurer of the organisation for 4 years.

I have worked with offenders for over forty years,  having been a Prison Officer for over thirty of those years. I served at Birmingham, Winchester and Dartmoor, exercising an evangelistic ministry at the latter where I saw many men give their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. On retirement, I joined the Devon and Cornwall Probation Service in 2001 as a Groupwork Facilitator (Tutor), re-locating to the Northumbria Probation Service in 2003 to fulfil the same task. I am married to Mary and between us, we have five children and countless grandchildren. We worship at Alnwick Baptist Church and I  have the privilege of preaching all around the North East and Cumbria (sometimes further afield) as Principal Evangelist with Jabez Outreach Ministries which is a resource available to churches. I am passionate about God’s Word and I run workshops for preachers. I love classical music, reading, writing, the countryside and I support West Ham United although I have to make do with watching Berwick Rangers!

Sarah Stansbie, Prayer Secretary 

I'm originally from Birmingham but have lived in Paignton, South Devon for about 10 years.  After working for some years in homeless hostels and housing, I trained as a Probation Officer and have been qualified now for 3 years working in the general offending team at Torquay.  I attend an independent church in Paignton and have 3 school age children.  Being on my own with the children can be hard work but I'm pleased to be able to serve on this committee.

Matthew Cottingham

I have been qualified as a Probation Officer for two years, working in Offender Management in Blackpool for the last year and before that working and training in Grimsby. I am married to Diana and have two sons, Joel 5 and Noah 4.
My vision for the fellowship is for it to serve God faithfully in everything, to be an organisation which encourages, prays and stands alongside Christians who work within the Probation Service in their walk with Christ so they can impact upon all the people who they come into contact with.

Jim is a retired probation officer, who has served on the Committee for a number of years. He co-ordinated the Conference last year. 

I have worked with offenders in various capacities for many years and have had much involvement with the probation service. I currently run Sanctuary, a charity that provides training and support to churches pastoring sexual offenders. I think that CIP has an important role to play, within the context of diversity, to uphold the Christian values upon which the probation service was established.
