I joined Home-Start in May 2025, bringing over 15 years of experience in project and financial management, community engagement, and team leadership across the private, public and non-profit sectors.

It’s a privilege to work alongside such a passionate and dedicated team, all united by a shared commitment to supporting families through the often challenging early years of parenthood.

As a mother of three, I know just how overwhelming those early days can be. Thats why I’m proud to be part of an organisation that provides vital, compassionate support when families need it most.

I joined Home-Start Wokingham as a volunteer in September 2017 when my children started school, which gave me a great insight into the diverse needs of the families we support. In November 2020, I joined as a Scheme Coordinator, having come from a background in the emergency services, children’s safeguarding and a short time working in education. I really enjoy meeting and working with our families and our lovely volunteers, and seeing the difference that Home-Start support can make.

I spent four years visiting families as a volunteer for Home-Start Wokingham which gave me real insight into the challenges facing young families and how much our support can help. I wanted to use my skills as a lawyer to do more so was thrilled to join the team, part-time, in 2019. As our Fundraiser my role is to help raise the money we need to fund our work. I also work to raise our profile within Wokingham Borough through social media and involvement in community events. I love the challenge of the role and knowing that, together, we are making a real difference to local families.
