We are here to tell you about the first black female chaplain to preach for the Queen in St James Palace.

Rose Hudson-Wilkin is the first black female to preach for the Queen in her Palace, which gave Rose a good way to get through to people. Ms. Hudson was also there to help people with their childen's deafness.

Rose Hudson's church, Holy Trinity, has covered lots of places like Dalston, All Saints and Haggerston Girls School in East London.

Rose was asked: 'How did they chose you?' Rose used a very good answer, saying to us that they got her by saying her quote.

I guess someone suggested my name to her and I was told that she went: 'Oh, I know her', and she was happy to make the appointment.

Her parish, All Saints Haggerston, celebrated its 150th aniversary 2 years ago and needs some charitable donations to help with some of the building's refurbishment.
