Hi there, I’m Linda, Project Lead for the Medway Project.
I feel honoured to be part of the Emerge family, supporting young people going through tough emotional times, helping them to feel heard and encouraging them to find hope.
I am a Mum of two amazing adult children, a very proud Nan Nan to a precious granddaughter and (not forgetting), a very cheeky cocker spaniel who loves long walks on the beach, belly rubs and any scrap of garden rubbish she might be able to ‘swap for a treat’!

Hi I’m Jo, Youth Support Worker for the Medway Project.
I feel so privileged being part of a charity like Emerge that brings hope to young people. It is something I am passionate about. I am a qualified youth worker and have been working with young people in education and the community for the last 17 years, with a focus on mentoring and mental health. I am involved in my local church and in charity work both in the UK and abroad. My other passions in life include my two wonderful children and our crazy cocker spaniel Hetty. We love going on new adventures together in the great outdoors, but not before a good coffee!!

Hi my name is Kate and I’m a Youth Support Worker with the Medway Team. It is such a privilege to work with this amazing charity. As a young person/adult I struggled terribly with mental health so to be able to support others in this area is incredible. I am married to Roger and have 2 children and 2 step daughters who are all now adults. Outside of Emerge I am very involved in our wonderful church. I love to spend time with Roger and the family and our crazy gorgeous cockapoo Saffie.
Hiya! I’m Beks, a Youth Support Worker at Medway Maritime. It is a blessing to be able to support young ones going through tough times, to help them see there is light and that people do want to help!
You can usually find me at the cinema or curled up reading a good book. I also love photography.
