Steph was a teacher for 25 years, and is a Parish Councillor in Northwood, Cowes, where she lives with her husband, cockapoo, Hydea, and sometimes their three nearly grown up children! She loves working in the community and is particularly keen on improving the lives of young people and their families. Steph is also a Lay Worship Leader in the Cowes Cluster of churches.

Abbi is thrilled to be part of the team here at SWAY. She has been a member of Apex Church in Cowes since 2014 where she is part of the music team and helps to run a monthly womens’ breakfast. She has worked in banking and the charity sector. Her main passion is helping others to help themselves, whether that is giving information or pointing people in the right direction to empower them to move forward.

I love the outdoors, you can guarantee wherever I go I will try to find a mushroom to identify. Art and crafts have always been a passion, the more whimsical the better! I have experience of running a Forest School for pre-school children. Baking is a hobby I enjoy and I try new things like beach art, crochet, and writing. I was involved in Brownies and Scouting growing up and I was a young person with SWAY for many years. Starting with SWAY as a volunteer grew lots of love for the chariy.
