Denise Renshaw retired in 2006 from full time work as a Physiotherapist and started to volunteer with a small charity that ran the visitor’s centre at a women’s prison nearby. Working with prisoner’s families had interested her for a while. In 2009 her Area Meeting asked if she would put her name forward to be the Quaker Chaplain at the prison. She is very grateful for the divine nudges that led her to prison chaplaincy.
