Staff

Middle row: Sally, Alison, Sue, Kate

Front row: Helen, Hannah, Anne

Wharfedale Vineyard employs a number of people for a range of pastoral and administration functions. 

All of the staff have chosen to supplement their paid employment with unpaid roles in a variety of areas of service - so please do not assume what they are doing is always their "paid job".  Some of the pastoral staff are "on duty" at Sunday events.  Administrative staff are not.  You can contact them all through the office and web site.
