Lorna Savage - North Area Co-ordinator & Schools Work Academy Tutor

Previous to this I spent 4 years in Loughborough studying for a degree in Geography and Sports Science, then did a Discipleship Training School with YWAM. Began really following Christ from 18, in first year at Uni and not looked back! I love being a part of SWYM, particularly with what God is doing in Bristol at the moment. My desire is to see young people know their value in God's eyes and reach their potential, and also to help churches share this message with their local young people.

This is my 2nd year with Urban Warriors in Yeovil, where now I am responsible for the training and welfare of the foundation year trainees based here.

Hi I'm Kath Entrican. I am married to a landscape photographer called Dave. I have lived in Bristol all my life until my recent move to Exeter, to look after the administration side of things at the SWYM office. The other part of my job is an area coordinator which involves lots of cups of coffee with youth workers and church leaders :-) . I have a passion to see young people grow in the faith and pass it on to their mates.


Magnus Proctor - North Devon Area Consultant

Magnus, married to Leah with two children Matt and Jennifer. Moved to the South West 4 years ago as church pastor in Mid-Devon before moving to Barnstaple where I work as ND Area coordinator for SWYM and part-time accountant. I also spend time at a young peoples rehabiliation centre. My accent betrays me - I am a Geordie and avid Newcastle United supporter but have learned to overcome that! My passion is to see young people come to know Jesus in a real and powerful way and look for all possible opportunities to fulfill this.


Kev Stuckey - Area Co-ordinator Team Leader & East Area Co-ordinator

My heart is that Gods people would come to maturity in Christ, using their gifts and abilities for His glory.


Tim Moyler - South Area Co-ordinator

Hi! I’m Tim and I’m the new boy on the team. Also, as I’ve been reminded already, I’m the old boy on the team. For the last 8 year s, Angie (my lovely wife) and I have been working with Agape in London, helping churches turn inside out. I will continue as an Agape Associate while helping out at SWYM. We have three amazing boys – Dan, Nathan & Reuben. My passion is to see Jesus-followers become confident in helping others follow him too. Also, I think I’m a bit of a “Jesus bore” – if it doesn’t have Jesus at the centre, I soon get bored.

Hi I’m Graham. I am a youth worker with a Methodist church in Camborne. I’ve been a youth work “main timer” since 1999 and spent six years in Germany . God called my wife Mej-Brit and myself to Cornwall and we moved here in 2007. My perfect day would be celebrating the baptism of a group of young people at the beach, followed by a surf and barbecue – and then watching Liverpool win the Premiership! I love my wife, guitars, and seeing people discover their identity in Jesus and bring transformed to live their calling.
