Simon Chesterson

simon_c.jpgSimon is one of two Trustees on the Exec Team.  Simon is a senior IT administrator and works for a large investment company based in Liverpool. He plays piano, is regularly involved in leading worship and plays in two worship bands and one secular band. He enjoys socialising with friends, going on holiday and anything that makes him laugh until he cries. He has known Christie for a relatively short period of time but has come to know, respect, and greatly admire him for his work and passion for the young people in our community.

 
Emily Bowyer - Chair of Exec

emily_m.jpg Emily is a secondary school teacher at Sutton High Sports College in St Helens and teaches Citizenship (and lots of other subjects!!). She became involved with N-Gage due to having a real heart for young people who are vulnerable and have not had the greatest start in life. God sees them as individuals who have so much potential and Emily feels that Christie has that same vision of the young people of Manchester. As part of the Executive team she hopes that she can really help out, giving a teacher's perspective and advice on the new and exciting things God is calling us to do.

 
Heather Thorpe

She works as a Phoenix Trader, selling cards and as an Antenatal Teacher with the NCT running local classes and classes in Styal Prison.  She lives with her husband and 4 children aged from 25 to 10 in Heaton Moor and worships at Ivy Manchester in Didsbury.
