MEET THE TEAM
Lucy, CEO & Founder
With the journey of life’s ups and downs, my heart is burdened to walk with those who struggle. This is how the charity started in 2015, being open to listen to young people and encouraging them in their lives. I can’t believe how it has grown and we have worked with so many girls and women and been privileged to listen to their stories through our courses. My hope is that Be Me can shine a light into the darkness and give hope.
Sue, Senior Course Leader
I have spent my whole life listening and talking to people, either as a researcher or a charity volunteer. I have a passion to see people reach their full potential. I joined Be Me as a volunteer course assistant a few years ago as I could see the wonderful support our courses were giving to students in schools and the positive change it was making to young people’s lives. Since then the scope of Be Me has expanded and my involvement has increased.It is my hope that the number of courses we run and the types of people we support will continue to grow.
Sarah, Grants and Trusts Manager
I have known Be Me Project since it started, and have followed with interest as it has grown and developed over the years. I previously worked in the charity sector as a researcher and writer, and am excited to use my skills to help Be Me find new sources of funding and achieve its fundraising goals.
Laura, Head of Operation and Development
I am delighted to be Head of Operations and Development at Be Me. Having had a long career in business - working in marketing, strategy and consumer research - it is a privilege to bring the skills I have gained into an area close to my heart. My role is to support the growth of Be Me by ensuring it has strong foundations and can continue to safely and successfully expand its great work.
Louise, Senior Course Leader & Course Administrator
I joined the Be Me team back in 2017 as a volunteer and am now leading the courses. As a teen I struggled with low self esteem and depression and found life really hard so I can empathise with the girls and women we have worked with. From my own experience, getting the right support when you need it most is life-changing. My life turned around and I hope to help others now do the same; to enable them to see themselves in a more positive light and learn their worth; to show them that they are loved, build their confidence and provide the keys to handling their emotions in a healthy way.
Caroline, Administration
I lead the head office administration, event organisation and I help run courses in schools.
It's loads of fun planning events and seeing everyone having a great time, understanding and helping our wonderful charity when they attend them.
Having faced mental health /wellbeing difficulties with close family and friends, I am passionate about working for Be Me Project, a charity that really cares and wants to help when others are facing the same.
Hannah Mclellan, Cumbria Hub Leader
I started with Be Me as an assistant and was bowled over by how amazing the courses are. Even at the age of 27 I felt I was gaining so much from the content.
It’s now an honour and a huge privilege to be leading courses in schools across Cumbria, as well as heading up the Cumbria team as Hub Leader. Working with young people and seeing them be transformed by the work of Be Me is my absolute favourite part of this job.
