Phillip Ballard
Associate Chaplain for International Students
Although born in London I have lived in Newcastle for most of my life. It is a wonderful place to live and work.
I worked as a solicitor in Newcastle for 30 years before retiring in 2010. I now run cafes for international students in Newcastle. The Globe cafes, which have been running for over 16 years, intend to offer a welcoming and safe meeting place for international students studying in Newcastle.
The cafe meets every Monday night from 7.30 to 10.00pm. We provide a meal for those who want to eat and a variety of activities from 'desserts from around the world' to 'line dancing'. We offer students an opportunity to meet British people, learn about our culture and practice their English.
I look forward to meeting you in Newcastle.
