Chief Executive Officer
I joined Young Leicestershire in 2006 having been a nationally qualified youth worker for nearly 30 years. I started my youth work career in the voluntary sector working in a hostel for homeless young people in Northampton. I then joined the Local Authority Youth Service where I worked in a variety of projects. I delivered detached, centre based and group work to many young people for over 8 years. Our charity has seen many changes over the years but has grown and progressed as a leading authority for youth work in the area. We work with a wide variety of partners – all bringing our own valuable skills and knowledge to better provide youth services. Our members and young people have consistently remained our priority. I am proud of the inspiring projects our members provide for young people and the many youth workers and dedicated volunteers we are able to support.
