Meet the Team
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 West Kent.
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 Angel and I’m passionate about working with young people and making a positive impact in their lives. I’m naturally a very caring and understanding person, and I’ve always found it important to make people feel listened to, supported and comfortable being themselves.
I’m particularly interested in mental health and the impact that having the right person around you can,have during difficult times. I love having the opportunity to work with young people who may be struggling and to be someone they can trust and feel safe around. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with the people I care about, watching TV and films, and keeping active through walking my dog.
