Bernadette’s life has been centred around young people, starting off as a qualified teacher in state schools and being active in the youth sector for many years with the Catholic Movement at University, as well as on a parochial and diocesan level.  She also spent two years with the Taize Community in France. Whilst working in the UK she moved into Chaplaincy and discovered Prayer Spaces. She is currently working as Chaplain in a local Girls’ Catholic College for 5-16 year olds and has used Prayer Spaces on various occasions with the students, staff and parents.
