Katie Adams

Founder, Trustee, and Wellbeing Coordinator

Katie is a friendly, welcoming person who believes in the power of time spent safely among friends, without judgement, and with support.  She always says yes to a cup of tea (black and weak please!) and is an expert at dodging a camera.

She works part time for the NHS coordinating voluntary services, and before that spent the last 3 years supporting people living with dementia and their families.  She has provided one to one advice and support, and run several groups for people living with dementia and their carers.  These groups have included singing, coffee mornings, and more activity based groups.

Prior to moving back to the NHS, she worked in a heritage museum team providing groups for care homes and mental health focused groups.

Katie also has experience working in child protection, and in a community learning disabilities team as an Assistant Clinical Psychologist.

One of Katie's career highlights was the 3 months spent living on a mountain retreat for sick children in Poland.  Not speaking any Polish, this was a huge challenge, but there are many ways to communicate aside from words and Katie managed to use them all to her advantage here.
