Claire is a creative soul, having worked in the creative arts and with accomplishments spanning over a 25-year career. Having also worked in pre-primary, primary and secondary schools as a teacher in the arts department, her knowledge and understanding of young peoples needs are keenly tuned.

Ceri is a very caring and committed mother of two secondary school-aged children, who has a clear understanding of the implications mental health can have on the whole family. Having experienced first-hand the effect a siblings well-being can have on the family unit, she is keen to see a change in how young people get care and attention before breaking point occurs.

Ceri's long career in communications and her strong creative flair led her to establish her own business 6 years ago, and she now provides copywriting, content management and presentation services to clients throughout the UK. 

Ceri’s abundant compassion and talent for clear, detailed communication is an asset to have on our board here at HOPE. Having helped us established our presence through her copywriting and communication skills, we are grateful to be able to lean on her wealth of experience to help us get our message out there effectively.
