Hi, I’m Liz. I started out as Charity Coordinator at Peeps in 2021 and have recently moved from my role as Grants & Fundraising Officer to look after the Family Inclusion & Support Worker role, following Anne’s retirement.

I was a secondary school teacher for 12 years including the roles of Head of Department and Head of Year, before leaving to become full time mum / carer to my beautiful daughter Neve.

Neve was born in 2012 and was quickly diagnosed with several serious neurological, physical and developmental conditions including Microcephaly, West Syndrome (which later developed into Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome), stage 5 cerebral palsy, GDD & hypotonia.

My journey with Neve has brought us into contact with some amazing children, families and organisations – including Peeps!

I also have an incredible son who has brought a wonderful and new dynamic to our family, but has also allowed me to understand better the challenges faced by the siblings of SEND children and just how heroic they are in their own right.

I enjoy putting all my professional and personal experience into supporting and growing the Peeps’ vision and passion for helping children with HIE and their families.  As well as working closely with NICU staff and other key professionals in the NHS and care sector.
