Ann joined the centre in April 2012.  She has a fondness for projects based on the edge of parks as her previous role was managing a community arts centre in Burgess Park, Southwark.  She brings a mixture of both commercial and community development experience to her role.

Alex has worked in the voluntary sector for over 20 years and particularly enjoys developing new projects which bring people together, such as our Men's club, or 4H community garden.  He loves music and the arts and created his own radio tribute to Prince when he died in 2016.

Joanna successfully completed an apprenticeship with us in 2012 and went on to train in book keeping and finance.   She’s the first port of call when people visit the centre and makes sure that everyone gets the help they need so  their class or event goes well.
