Meet the Team

We have a great team of staff here at the Old NeedleWorks Foundation, with each one of us having experienced our own struggles with mental health. With the tools and coping strategies we use here, we embrace a journey of positive mindset.
We are all very passionate about positive mental health and we strive to work hard and research more ways and tools to help and support people within our community.

Our charity wouldn’t be able to run the amount of community groups and achieve the targets we set ourselves without our wonderful volunteers. Our volunteers are hard working and warm welcoming people of the community who have in one way or another used our services.

Hi I'm Elaine, I love spending time outside and for that reason I love holidays, days out and weekends away in the countryside. I am passionate about health, so the gym and cooking are important to me. I enjoy reading, binge watching Netflix and meeting up with family and friends.

Hey I'm Lou, I am very passionate about positive mental health. In my spare time I enjoy attending gym classes, I absolutely love the outdoors and bumble bees. My happy place is anywhere sat at the foot of a waterfall.

Katie

Hi I'm Katie, my happy place is definitely on the beach somewhere warm. My biggest goal is to travel all around the world and explore new places. I also love listening to music and going to concerts, I've seen many of my favourite bands live and would love to see more.
