Ben

I have been a Trustee since 2019, supporting the fantastic staff team to ensure Help Hub's work remains both innovative and sustainable.

As a music educator with a focus on inclusion and technology (you can find out more about my work over on my website), I bring some expertise in additional learning needs and neurodiversity to the trustee board, as well as a deep love and solidarity for my hometown of Scarborough.

He believes in using storytelling and collaboration to empower people and strengthen local initiatives.

Angela

Throughout my working career, I have worked with people. Initially, I worked as a Police Officer in the Chapeltown area of Leeds which equipped me well in respect of understanding people and dealing with complex community issues. Later, I worked with Bradford Social Services where I undertook community assessments of children and their families where child protection issues were known or suspected. In the latter part of my career, I worked as a Registered Manager for a supported living provider and as a Registered Manager with Carers Resource.

My work experience has engendered in me a passion for advocacy; for enabling people who are ‘stuck’ to have a voice that is heard.

I am proud to be a Trustee in the vibrant and knowledgeable Help Hub Team.

I love walking my dog, playing tennis and and sea swimming. 

Trish

Having had a career as a nurse, I spent several years concentrating on raising my family.

In 2006 I became aware of advocacy and this became my passion and my career. I began to work for Advocacy Alliance in 2011 after relocating the the east coast until my retirement in 2020.

Volunteering as a trustee for Help Hub enables me to remain involved and up to date with advocacy whilst allowing me to give something back to the community.
