Craig (He/him)

Youth and Community Worker

Charity Safeguarding Officer
Level 3 NVQ Youth Work
First Aider

Hi, I’m Craig!

I have been a youth worker with PiNC for 4 years and I have completed my level 3 NVQ in youth work. I am the safeguarding officer for the charity and have extensive experience of working with young people who are neuro- diverse.

Prior to this I was the manager of a short breaks home for young people with learning needs and worked there for 30 plus years, making lovely memories!

I live with my husband Stephen and 2 dogs (Tara and Archie) and enjoy music, cinema and watching some sports.

I have a social work degree, NVQ 4 in care management and level 3 NVQ in youth work

Victoria (She/Her)

Mental Wellbeing Support Worker

Hi, I’m Victoria!

I work with Always Another Way, and I also work one day a week in partnership with PiNC at their Maryport centre. My role involves supporting mental wellbeing across Cumbria through group work and one-to-one support.

My background is diverse, ranging from supporting adults with learning disabilities to working as a commercial artist and writer, as well as experience with horses, science, and house renovation. I am passionate about rescue animals and have always shared my life with four-legged friends.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHD adult, I bring lived experience of both the gifts and challenges of neurodiversity, alongside the everyday ups and downs of life. I love my job and find my greatest rewards in validating and supporting others, offering practical solutions that help people improve, thrive, and move forward with drive, insight, and self-compassion.
