Meet the team....
Each group is run by a highly trained leader and supported by a local volunteer and a young sibs leader. The team leaders have a wide variety of specialist skills and experience supporting and educating children with Autism and other needs. The young sibs leader is usually a young person who has an interest in working with children or one of our sibs who have grown up to become a mentor to the younger members of the group . The local volunteer may be a parent or student with an interest in working with children

Manager/Sibs Leader
My life aim is to enthuse others and encourage them to become confident individuals, inquisitive about the world around them. I will give most things 'a go' and am considered by most to be quirky if not slightly mad.
I have been managing the Sibsservice since 2012. alongside teaching and working as museum educator. More recently I decided to focus on Sibsservice as more and more families contact us for support. I also provide business Management support for Charnwood Arts Therapy Services Ltd.
