With over 30 years supporting and advocating for victims and perpetrators affected by abuse, trauma, substance misuse, mental illness, and crisis situations.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting children, young people, and adults impacted by abuse, trauma, substance misuse, and mental health challenges
Starting out as a youth worker after earning my diploma in Performing Arts, I worked with children, aged 5 -16, who had additional physical needs and behavioural issues
Many were neurodiverse and many were living with or affected by abuse and trauma. I organised play schemes and adventure holidays, creating safe, supportive spaces for those with complex needs.
For 10 years, I managed the Visitors Centre at HMP Leeds, reinventing its role and raising its profile within the prison and the wider community. I secured funding and oversaw its transformation into the Jigsaw Healthy Living Visitor`s Centre. The centre offered a variety of services and activities focusing on five areas of health, benefiting prison visitors, prisoners, staff, and the local community.
