Kay leads a small team (Team WWM) which supports our Chaplaincy teams in providing central leadership, resources  and administration

Kay
Cullingworth

Lead Officer

Kay began her working career at Barclays Bank in Worcester before studying at the Salvation Army Training College in London. Kay became an ordained Salvation Army Minister for many years, serving in various locations around the UK. She is a mental health First Aider and has a degree in Psychology with Pastoral Care

She is married to Andrew, and she has 2 grown-up children and 3 grandchildren. After moving to Coventry in 2024 she became a chaplain at a Methodist Care Home, leading services and supporting 65 residents living with dementia. Along with her husband, Kay worships at The Salvation Army in Coventry.

Kay comes to this role with a love for God and a passion to see people live ‘life in all its fulness’. She sees her role as supporting the Chaplains as they come alongside people in the workplace, as well as recruiting and resourcing new Chaplains. She is excited about the opportunities God has in store for WorkCare West Midlands.

In her spare time Kay enjoys reading, walking, jigsaws and crafts hopefully with a cup of tea and piece of cake not too far away!

Paul loves languages and he is fully fluent in French and has attempted to learn Arabic, but the latter is proving to be a lifetime commitment.

In 2013, after a successful career within the Forensic Science Service (FSS) which concluded with a six month project in Abu Dhabi, Paul decided to train to become an English teacher to adults. He spent two years working at a private institute in the heart of Oman.

Up until recently, Paul was teaching on a residential English programme in the Black Country to overseas students.

From 2018 to 2024, Paul worked in the Chaplaincy Office at the NEC in Birmingham and was linked to CIGB, so he is no stranger to the world of chaplaincy. He is very excited to be part of the new WorkCare West Midlands, to support Lindsay and his team in growing this invaluable work.

When Paul is not in the office, he is often to be found pottering in his garden, supporting his church's Messy Tots group or planning his next holiday.
