Sparks Fostering Team

I have been working on foster panels for over 15 years and have a background in social care, mental health and employment.  I have worked all over the UK creating and delivering services supporting people to access help they need including housing, probation and prison work, gaining and keeping employment, education and training.  I have also volunteered for many years in anti-poverty charities addressing severe need across the UK.  As a young person, I received support from social services and was also in foster care which gives me a unique viewpoint.    Outside of work, I live in the Welsh countryside and my husband and I enjoy music, films and reading and attending festivals and gigs and are also getting very good at winning pub quizzes.
