Meet the team

I keep the home fires burning. Some of the core elements of my role are fundraising, budgeting and reporting.

I manage the practice work completed with young people across all our practice teams. I am also the Designated Safeguarding Lead.

I’m the Project Administrator here and provide support to the Head of Operations and the mentoring teams.

I oversee the business and administrative needs of the charity, bringing rigour to our processes, managing data, HR, IT and the money.

I provide finance administrative support to all parts of the charity including invoicing, bill paying and cashflow.

I lead on securing income through trusts and grants, working closely with our fundraising and communications team to ensure we meet our annual targets. 

I lead our mentoring programmes for both the primary and professional mentoring services. I am also the Deputy Safeguarding Lead.

I work with our 11-21 year olds, finding out about them and linking them with one of our fabulous volunteer mentors

I work with primary-aged children and once I learn what they want from the experience, I must use my judgement to partner them up with the perfect volunteer mentor.

I work with secondary aged young people. I get to know the young people; the things they like to do, and their hopes for the future, before matching them with the best volunteer mentor for them. I then support the young people and their mentors so they have the best possible experience during their time together.   

I am lucky enough to have two roles, which compliment each other perfectly!

I am a Professional Mentor for secondary school aged young people, providing a safe space for them to talk. I also deliver our art and youth clubs every week at our Riverside Youth Hub.
