Elizabeth Mills is a qualified teacher specialising in early childhood education and working with children with special educational needs. She has been a caregiver for many years and currently works as a volunteer for the chaplaincy team in her local hospital. Elizabeth is an ecumenical Christian, a member of the Religious Society of Friends, and is actively involved in her local meeting for worship for healing.
