after a period working as a school chaplain and at St Michael's London Fields, has now succeeded him as vicar.

Heather helps run an annual East London Healing Prayer School, is a trustee of three local charities and serves as an Assistant Area
Director of Ordinands. She and Adam, who now works with the Diocese of London senior team, have three adult children and a dog who considers herself both family and a member of staff.

Revd Jema Ball

Jema is one of our trustees for the South West, having joined the Simeon's Trust at the end of 2021.

Since 2019 Jema has been the Vicar of St Mary's Stoke Bishop in Bristol Diocese, and she also has a wider role within a 'Mission Area' of churches across the north west part of the city.  She is married to Jonno and they have two children (who are 11 and 8 at the time of writing).  Since training at Trinity College Bristol and being ordained in 2012, Jema and her family have been on a little tour of the Midlands, serving a curacy in a group of semi-rural parishes in Leicestershire, and then as an Associate Vicar in a market town benefice in near to Peterborough.

Jema is passionate about helping people come to know and follow Jesus, in particular children, young people and families.  Her current role involves substantial input into the local C of E primary school, which she thoroughly enjoys, as well as supporting a large team of ministers locally - another thing she loves to do!  

Hobbies include crochet, cooking, reading, walking and camping.  She often finds herself feeling jealous of their family cat who lives a decadently sedate life!
