About Us

I’ve worked across health and social care in the City and County for over 25 years, managing teams delivering hands-on support in people’s homes. 

I now manage the Leicester Carers Support Service team, supporting unpaid carers across the city. 

Outside of work, I enjoy theatre, sport, travelling and spending time with my family in Scotland. 

I joined the Leicester Carer Support Service three months ago, supporting carers to apply for grants. It’s a privilege to support carers and help them feel valued for the vital role they play. 

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my growing family, baking celebration cakes, gardening and getting outdoors for walks. 

I’ve worked with carers for over 16 years and have been part of this team for more than six of those. I’m passionate about guiding carers through their personal journeys. 

Outside of work, I love walking, gardening, swimming and horse riding. 

I’ve worked here since 2013 and enjoy supporting clients to make the most of their benefits and find solutions to practical, everyday problems. 

Outside of work, I enjoy music, film and literature. Gardening is my therapy, and I love spending time in nature. 

I have worked for Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland for over 20 years and I’m proud to be part of the LCSS Team. 

Outside of work, I am a busy mum, grandmother and, more recently, a great-grandmother. I also have a large overly enthusiastic Labrador/Doberman Pinscher cross, who has perfected the art of photobombing. 

I’ve worked with carers for over 15 years, following a long career in the NHS as a mental health nurse and clinical nurse specialist. 

I bring specialist knowledge in mental health, dual diagnosis and neurodiversity, and enjoy supporting carers through their caring journeys. 

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, cooking and eating out, watching sport, and spending time with my two daughters and four grandchildren. 

I’ve spent the past 12 years supporting carers, including seven years with Age UK, taking a compassionate, non-judgemental approach rooted in listening and trust. 

Alongside this, I’ve supported people with acquired brain injuries for almost 20 years, helping individuals make positive changes in their lives. 

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, gardening, reading and going on holiday. 

I have volunteered with the Leicester Carers Support Service for over the past 4 years. 

My main role is to supply our clients with a Carers Pack, Passport and Information to help them provide support for the person they are caring for. I also use my design skills to create posters, leaflets and newsletters for our upcoming events. 

My main hobbies are playing retro video games, listening to music, drawing environments and watching movies and animation.
