I love working for FFL! My specialism is cookery – I really enjoy inspiring families to cook. My own children are now adults, but I still love to cook for them and I often get asked to make roast dinners and cheesecake! I’ve previously worked as a family support worker in a primary school and my favourite hobby is walking in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

Hiya! My name is Skye, and I am an undergraduate intern at FFL. I am studying Environmental Science at Leeds, and have lots of experience volunteering in children’s work, including at FFL.

Richard Colbrook
Chair of Trustees
richardc@flourishingfamiliesleeds.org.uk
Hi! I’m a volunteer for Flourishing Families and lead our great team of trustees who oversee the running of the charity. I get to chat to our supporters about our work and all the exciting changes we’re seeing in the lives of families. When I’m not at work, I enjoy walking my dog Frisbee, or sitting on the bank of a lake catching fish.
Amelia Smith

Hi! As systems coordinator I help to develop the ways we organise and run our work here at Flourishing Families. On a very different note, I also run some of our mentoring sessions and so get to do lots of arts and crafts! I studied Maths at the University of Leeds, and when I’m not at work I love reading and crafts.
