I have set up this page because in 2023, I will offer some consultancy support to local organisations to support their development, sustainability and impact. I have over 30 years experience of voluntary and community organisations - as a volunteer, trustee, paid worker, trainer, researcher, manager and in third sector infrastructure and representation. From 2007-2021 I was CEO at Northor
pe Hall Child & Family Trust, managing a growing, innovative children's mental health charity. I trained as a youth and community worker at Ilkley College many years ago and the values of that training have stayed with me. I've spent my working life working to bring people together to address social justice and environmental issues through community, creativity and doing it ourselves. As Community Anchors Lead. TSL Kirklees and Community Anchor organisations provide information, networking, support and advice for voluntary and community organisations for free. See www.tslkirklees.org.uk for more details. I'm also a trustee and volunteer at Threadbear Theatre, Highfields Community Orchard and Kirklees Climate Commission. Get in touch if there's something I can help with. My email is: [email protected]
PS Flow.org.uk is a domain I have had for many years. Being in flow is the opposite of being stuck or stagnant - to flow is to be alive and connected.
