Wendy’s background is largely in the private sector until 18 years ago when she joined the voluntary sector as a caseworker for Finance, Debt and Benefits. Her roles and responsibilities included provision of services to Local Government, Legal Services Commission, and Big Lottery funded project for Mental Health. Utilising her experience in this sector, Wendy joined Access2Advice CIC early in 2016 to lead the
CFO (Co-Financing Organisation) project in partnership with other specialist organisations to improve access to rehabilitation and social welfare. Having progressed into a management role whilst with Access2Advice, Wendy is now the Finance and Governance, Director.

Coming from a background in training and the arts mainly within the rehabilitative environment, I progressed to work with Access2Advice initially running a development project enabling independent living in the community from custody. I have a passion for empowering individuals to reach their potential and own it. Using creative thinking and a solution-focused way of working enables us to reach the collective goal.
