Jo Slater, Office Manager
Jo joined CRNet in August 2023. She previously worked in supporter relations (including fundraising, communications, marketing, events and just about anything else that needed doing!) for Urban Saints where she aimed to volunteer on a different residential each year to get to know the volunteers.
She is passionate about helping enable everyone, particularly young people, experience the benefits of Christian residentials and the positive changes that can result. In her spare time, Jo enjoys helping with the 11-18s at her church, reading a book or two a week, and keeping up with friends. She met her husband whilst working for Urban Saints, and their daughter also loves serving on Christian residentials.
Christian Supply Chain Buying Group
Christian Residential Network runs alongside a trading subsidiary which provides financial stability and any surplus generated is invested back into Christian residential ministry across the UK. You can find out more about this and their staff team here.
