Heather Butler  

Heather Butler has worked with primary children and teenagers in a church context for over 20 years and will share some of the things she has learned over that time - both successes and failures. She is passionate about making the Bible accessible to young people both in children's house groups and during the Sunday morning 'slot', whether in church or Sunday school. Currently she is involved with all-age family services at her church in Chesham Bois, Bucks.

At present Heather still teaches in a primary school in Hazlemere, Bucks on Thursdays and Fridays. On other days of the week she writes books for children and teachers and runs RE and Spirituality days in schools across the UK. She also leads story writing workshops and staff inset training both in schools and for the Association of Christian Writers. A keen supporter of Toybox Charity she occasionally gasps for breath.

Her husband works in the media and is Non-Stipendiary Minister at their church. They have 2 sons and 1 daughter-in-law who are involved in church outreach and youth work in their home church and in Peckham.
