Meet the team:

Administrator: Sarah Kellett.

Sarah keeps us all organised and on track.  She's also the longest serving member of staff so is a great source of information. Although part-time Sarah is in the office for at least a part of every weekday, helping ensure we're here and available should you need to contact us.   

 

 

 

 

Volunteer & Referrals Co-ordinator: Peter Gray

 
Pete is our eyes and ears on the ground.  He liaises with our fantastic team of volunteers (the core of the charity) putting them in touch with people in need of a little help or support.  He also liaises with other local organisations we partner with, helping ensure a joined-up approach in Ludlow with charities and social enterprises working together to make Ludlow an even better place to live, if that's possible.  Pete is also part-time and typically works 24 hours a week over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 

 

 

 

 

 Food Coordinator: Di Garrini

 Di is our 'go to' person for all things food.  She works closely with our volunteer cooks to help ensure our community lunches are served each Tuesday at Helena Lane and does a great job helping ensure we're able to supply food where it is needed, from hot homemade soups at events like Fireworks Night on Gallows Bank to freshly prepared meals which are then frozen and passed to Foodbank for use in their food parcels.  Di is also looking at the wider issues of reducing food waste locally be redistributing surplus food and using food as a social event to help reduce loneliness and isolation.  Di works 30 hours a week, usually Monday to Thursday

Susie is responsible for all aspects of work across Hands Together Ludlow including supporting the staff; working with the trustees on strategy and planning; ensuring policies and processes are in place; partnership development; budget management and fundraising.
