SJB Leicester - BeLoved

About BeLoved

Cultivating communities of welcome and worship around those with additional needs and their families.

We are BeLoved, and we long for people with additional needs and their families to be welcomed into community. We want all to feel welcome, safe, joyful, significant, and to experience the love of God.  We serve local families of those with additional needs in Leicester in a variety of ways.

Fortnightly on a Wednesday we run an SEND Stay and Play session at SJB Church, and we fill the rest of our time coming alongside both adults and children with additional needs in their settings.

What Else We Do

Hi, I’m Sharon. I taught in an early years setting, becoming the Senco, before moving to teach in a special school. After 17 years in education I took a break to be with my wonderful daughters. More recently I worked at St John’s as Children, school and families worker before changing role to set up BeLoved, bringing together my passion for supporting families and those with additional needs.	Hello I'm Jonny. I’ve been around people with learning disabilities and additional needs for my whole life. I've been working with The Navigators for the last 16 years, helping university students discover God's unconditional love. I'm excited about being a part of this BeLoved team.	Hi Rosie here, I enjoy rambling, board games, singing and gardening when I can. I’m a retired primary school teacher and I’ve also worked in a special school, and with the National Autistic Society alongside adults. I’ve volunteered at church for over 20 years with children and young families before joining the Beloved team.
Hi, I’m Ro I enjoy creative things and love using this passion with our groups at Beloved to share the message of love we find in the Bible.	Hi I'm Isaac. I'm a qualified physiotherapist and have experience working at a school for children with additional needs. I have a passion for music and have a lot of fun sharing this with people. I've really enjoyed being part of the BeLoved family!
