Leadership Team

CEO

I believe in people, especially young people and their unwavering ability to surprise and impress me with their resilience and determination. I'm incredibly proud of the professional work that colleagues do on a day to day basis and it continues to be a privilege to share Space's journey as CEO.

Director of Youth Work

“We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become” – Carl Jung

At space we are on a new, exciting journey and I am delighted to be our Director of Youth Work. As an experienced educationalist, I firmly believe that informal learning and free association are key to the personal, social & political growth of children and young people. We work with young people to encourage them to believe in their potential, have aspirations and make their own choices.. ..To be who they wish to be, to influence their communities and recognise their ability to create the world they want to live in. It is my job to provide support and guidance to our teams of youth workers and to work collaboratively with partners. To ensure that our Early Help offer is strategically linked and that we are an accountable, learning organisation. Above all, that we act with authentic respect for all and have genuine determination to make a difference.

Chances Head Teacher

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela

I have been lucky enough to work at Chances School and support SPACE’s educational provision for a number of years now. For me, the main purpose of education is to educate and support children within society, to prepare them for the next chapter of their lives and teach them values and morals. At Chances the unique blend of teachers and youth workers help us support our students with both their education and issues outside of their school life, preparing them for the next step in their journey.
