Charlie joined the team as our Specialist Victim Project Manager in July 2021.

Previously Charlie worked as an ASB practitioner within Derbyshire Victims Services (DVS), providing practical and emotional support to victims of ASB, and led in the development of several projects to raise the profile of ASB within communities and the impact it has on its victims.  During her tenure, Charlie and the ASB team at DVS received the Julie Coulthard Memorial Award for outstanding achievement for the casework they completed during the first Covid-19 lockdown.

Charlie studied Psychology at the University of Northumbria and takes a keen interest in the motivations and compulsions behind anti-social behaviour.  She hopes that in understanding more about the reasons behind ASB we can effectively tackle it.

She is passionate about supporting victims to cope, and recover, whilst also helping them find their voice in standing up against ASB. Charlie is excited to be part of our team and looks forward to championing victims’ rights and welfare.

Personally, Charlie spends a lot of time outdoors with her husband, young son and dog, she loves berry picking for homemade jam, countryside walks and watching cooking programmes.
