CEO and Founder

I founded the Better Together Community Support Group for Stoke-on-Trent and N-u-L because I noticed there is vital support and points of contact missing. As a group made of community members, we aim to support where needed. No matter if someone need just a friendly chat, a food or hygiene parcel, sign posting to other support organisations or is looking for activities for every age group. We got you covered.

My personal background, I am a historian, specialised in Women in the Intelligence community, worked 20 years as PA, proud Mum and Grandma.

Community Engagement and Outreach

I joined Better Together to help to develop our activities so that we can continue to meet the needs of the people we support.

I graduated from Staffordshire University with an Honours degree in Sociology and have wide experience of volunteering with local voluntary organisations, including Changes, B-Arts and Appetite.

I love working with people of all ages and I run various activities here at Better Together Community Support Group.

I'm a mother of three and before working at Better Together, I was a regular visitor, then a volunteer and now I'm employed as community support worker. I previously worked as a barber for many years.

In my spare time I love spending time with my family and reading.
