Chris Sissons' Personal Statement

Chris Sissons
Chris Sissons

I have lived in Burngreave for over 14 years and have been familiar with the area since I attended the Study Year at the Urban Theology Unit on Abbeyfield Road in 1981-2.

For over 20 years I have been a Community Development Worker on Tyneside, Teeside and then in Netherthorpe, Attercliffe, Rotherham and Maltby. During that time I specialised in Community Economic Development and Community Planning. In the late 1990s I was one of the founder members of Burngreave Community Action Forum.

Currently, I work for the Methodist Church of Great Britain, as manager of its grant making to local neighbourhoods.

I am committed to participative ways of working.

I will seek a partnership approach to involvement of all local interest groups in management of Burngreave’s community assets as BNDfC withdraws.
