Mr Roger Barnett

Designated person for Safeguarding Adults at risk

(Written September 2022) : I have been a member of Godalming Baptist Church for more than 50 years! My wife, Lesley and I moved from London where I was baptised as a believer at Merton Park Baptist Church whilst a member of the Boys' Brigade. During my years at GBC I have led the children's work and served as a Deacon and Church Secretary. I have been Secretary of the former North Downs Baptist Association, Moderator ( Chairperson) of the South Eastern Baptist Association and a member of the Baptist Union Council. I am currently the Designated Person for Safegaurding of adults at risk and have a particular interest in the involvement of people with disabilities in the whole of church life. In this respect I am pleased to support Count Everyone In and Open Hands Guildford in their work with adults with learning disabilities.
