For the last decade, Lorraine and Vern have been running the international charity Toilet Twinning and have travelled extensively to spend time with church partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Lorraine has stepped away from the day-to-day leadership of Toilet Twinning as she has just been ordained a deacon within the Church of England, and is now serving her curacy in Bournemouth. Vern continues to lead the Toilet Twinning team and is also a freelance graphic designer.

Lorraine has a Masters in theology and leadership and is passionate about all things related to pioneering, entrepreneurial leadership, and she has been a guest speaker and groups facilitator for the Global Leadership Summit in the UK.

Lorraine and Vern have three children, two cats and a dog. They love to go for long bike rides around the New Forest and Purbecks, and also like going out for curries.
