I’ve spent the past 10 years supporting the organisation of Leigh Folk Festival, the UK’s largest free folk festival, and organised YMCA175, the global celebration and youth leadership-driven forum for YMCA’s 175th anniversary (picking up a Conference News’ 30 under 30 Award).

Once upon a time I was the BBC's youngest radio presenter, lockdown got me running (in a distant memory I once ran the London Marathon), and in ‘normal times’ I commentate roller derby 🛼🎤, blood donor, during Covid-19 organised a virtual music festival.
