Meet the Team

Chris

Hey, I’m Chris, a project lead for Emerge Advocacy. I love stories, and this helps with my work at Emerge. They are shared experiences that can help the young people I see to not feel so alone. I have a passion for live music and go to a lot of gigs/concerts. I also love film, so watch a lot of movies at the cinema or at home.

Chris has been involved in youth work as a volunteer since 2014, including 5 years with the Emerge team at the Royal Surrey Hospital.

Abby

Hi, I’m Abby, Project Lead & Area Manager for Emerge. I love working with young people and helping them in their struggles; the opportunity to be in hospital with them is so incredible! Spending time with young people and letting them know their value is so important. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, exploring new places, music (listening and playing), reading and the occasional run!

Abby has been a youth worker for 5 years and in a voluntary capacity before that. She has a BA (Hons) in Theology, Ministry and Mission. She is also our Area Manager.
