Meet the Team
Many of our staff team and trustees at Alternatives have lived-experience of overcoming the challenges we work to support others through, with many first coming to Alternatives as service users, then volunteers, before having the opportunity to become paid employees. This is a direct reflection of our ethos of empowering women to find routes out of destitution, flourish in themselves, and give back to the community in ways that inspire hope and joy.
