Richard Colbrook
Chair of Trustees
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 I enjoy walking my dog, Frisbee, or sitting on the bank of a lake catching fish.
Kate Colbrook
Director
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.

Hi! I’m the graduate intern at FFL and I work in lots of areas of the charity, including organising deliveries and filming videos for our online clubs. Before this, I studied maths in Leeds, and volunteered with FFL. I like spreadsheets, arts and crafts, and I really enjoy working with families.

Hi! I look after the language and literacy projects at FFL. I have a degree in Education and TESOL, a Master's degree in Education and I am CELTA trained. I love teaching both children and adults, at home and abroad. More often than not, you'll find me looking for the next best children's book to read with our families at FFL!
