Trustee 

Kate Gartside

I am a mother of 2 grown up children both taller than me and 4 grandchildren rapidly growing taller than me!  I have a husband who supports me along the road I travel, and I’m a retired URC Minister who is still involved in church work.  I’m passionate about Pastoral Supervision and have been for many a year, prior to entering full-time ministry I was a counsellor and supervisor and realised immediately that ministry is a lonely business and one in which the demands are high.  I saw the seeds of APSE take root and kept ‘an eye on what was happening’, I also realised what a benefit it would be to create ‘a safe space’ for those in ministry and upon retirement worked in a task group to help the URC decide on a policy for its ministers.   I also became a member of APSE in 2018, felt God call me into the role of Pastoral Supervisor and have since had the joy of sharing in the North West Regional group meetings, APSE conferences and workshops leading me to meet other Pastoral Supervisors, many of whom have encouraged me along the way.  If you asked me why I want to serve as a trustee, my only reply would be, ‘I’m not sure I do’… but I’ve been asked, I’ve prayed about this and feel that it is a step I am being asked to take along the road I am travelling and one that I have time, energy and enthusiasm for.   I won’t always get it right but there are good folk alongside me who will guide me when I need direction and I have the humility to take advice.
