Interviewees

Μύ

Stonyhurst College

Jan Graffius is the curator of collections at Stonyhurst College and travels the world conserving and caring for sacred relics. Stonyhurst College itself, as an historic Catholic school, holds a very important collection of relics, many of which give very graphic insights into the persecutions suffered by Catholics during the Reformation in England, and the risks many took to practice their faith.

Μύ

Blackburn Foodbank

Ros Duerden is the founder and manager of Blackburn Food bank. The idea was first suggested to her by someone she was interviewing as a candidate to be the next vicar of her church. He got the job, but Ros ignored his advice for the next 2 years. Eventually she decided to advertise a meeting to see if there was any local interest in running a food bank. When 75 people turned up, including local care professionals who had been unofficially putting together food parcels for their clients in crisis, Ros took it as a mandate to get things going. The project opened in November 2012 and has been feeding hundreds of people every month. Although the bank is supported by people of many faiths and none, for Ros it is simply putting her Christian faith into action.

Μύ

Bea Foster has worked as a youth worker for her whole life, most recently in her native Burnley.
