The FFL team are really excited to welcome our newest member of staff, Kerry! Kerry recently moved to Leeds to join the team and bring all her expertise to the work of FFL!
So Kerry, where are you from? I’m from Cheltenham, but I lived in Oxford for 6 years before moving to Leeds.
What is the best meal you have ever cooked? Probably a chicken and chorizo pie or a chocolate fudge cake!
Would you rather be able to speak to animals or speak all foreign languages? Definitely speak all foreign languages!
What were you doing before joining Flourishing Families? I was working with children in care and their families in Oxford and performing in as many musical theatre productions as I could find!
What excites you the most about working for Flourishing Families? I’m glad to be able to support families in what feels, at the moment, to be a really tough time for so many. It’s an exciting thought to get to be part of a team building new projects to support the community around us. I also love meeting new people and can’t wait to get to know the families FFL is working with.

Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
