Catherine works for an event management company based in Manchester and is regularly
jetting off to sunnier climates. Not quite as glamorous as it sounds, she
promises! In a previous life she was involved in full time youth work,
and now as a volunteer, she is well aware of the importance of the N-Gage
project. She is passionate about seeing young people achieve more than
they thought possible, and raising their expectations. She has been
involved with the project since its early stages and is excited to see how it
has developed and the impact it is having on young people's lives across
Greater Manchester. Long may it continue!

To balance this he likes eating, especially curry, painting (as long as its watercolours not DIY) and reading. His other passion is youth work. Having worked with every age group at some stage in the past and it's great to be in the background supporting and encouraging the good work Christie and others do.
