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

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

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

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!
