Lucy Evans

Project Manager Endeavour House

Expand

Having volunteered for the Integrated Offender Management team in Probation and subsequently worked for them for a year, I joined Shekinah 2.5 years ago as the trainer at Endeavour House.

Three months later I managed to land the role of Project Manager so my day to day life now consists of everything from dealing with probation supervision to practical advice, food parcel referrals, finance meetings and overseeing building work.

In my spare time I am a Mum of 4 who suffers a weekly spinning class in order to indulge my occasional love of cake!

John Hamblin

Chief Executive

Expand

I have the privileged position of CEO which I have held since 2008. Prior to this I was Head of Training at Shekinah who I joined in 2002 following 12 years of working in the field of Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. Throughout my working life I have always held the belief that service delivery revolves around positive and meaningful relationships. Without this as a foundation, work becomes pretty meaningless. When not working, I spend my time outdoors as much as possible fishing, sailing or metal detecting.
