I joined HOPE in August 2021. I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor and registered member of the BACP, having extensive experience of working in the voluntary sector since 2002 in community engagement, outreach work and volunteer management.
My work at HOPE is very enjoyable and varied. I facilitate several groups including the Tuesday friendship group, and men’s groups, and am involved with the food pantry. I help organise trips, outings, and events throughout the year, as well as any day-to-day tasks and outreach work as arises. The key element to my role is about getting people 60+ engaged in services and feeling connected to their community.
No two days are alike, and I thoroughly enjoy being part of the HOPE team.
