Meet our Independent Strategic Advisory Body

Helen is aged 52 and from West Yorkshire. She has lived in Northern Lincolnshire for the past 30 years.

She is employed as the Deputy Chief Executive at the Carers Support Service in North and North East Lincolnshire.

Working for a charity, which holds Local Authority and CCG contracts, she has a very grounded and realistic view of what can be achieved. Her knowledge of services and support in the area is wide-ranging, her organisation supports Carers of Adults and Carers of Children. She has lots of experience in utilising sparse resources to give the best results!

Helen believes that most Carers want to care… but they shouldn’t have to do it alone.  As a community we need to do more to help people, to help themselves.

She lives with her husband and 2 rescued Chocolate Labradors.
