Meet YPE Leaders
Leon
Hi, I’m Leon! I work at the NHS and enjoy being part of a team that makes a real difference. Outside of work, I love running, the gym, football, and spending time with friends. I’m upbeat, approachable, and always try to leave people smiling. My goal is to take running further by completing half and full marathons
Susan
I’m Susan, with over five years’ experience supporting young people. Training as an Occupational Therapist, I’m passionate about helping them thrive and believe they can change the world with the right support. I joined YPE because its mission to create safe, engaging spaces perfectly aligns with mine
Tony
I’m Tony, leader of YPE! I’m passionate about content, music, and cinema, using creativity to inspire and connect. I aim to guide the younger generation with compassion, making a positive impact—one smile, one moment, one child at a time
Mark
Through YPE, I support youth navigating the challenges of their teenage years. I’m passionate about sports—especially basketball and football—and enjoy watching documentaries
Chantell
I am Chantell. Inspired by my parents’ stories of an active, screen-free childhood, I aim to create fun, meaningful experiences for today’s youth—blending tradition and technology to spark creativity, beat boredom, and build lasting memories.
My hobbies are cooking, painting, crafting, reading, netball.
Ollie
I am Ollie. I joined YPE to give back after experiencing the warmth and community older youth once created for me on trips. I want to offer today’s young people the same support—empowering them with opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive
I am passionate about boxing, football, reading, public speaking, and property development
Frank
Hi, I’m Frank. I joined YPE at the start to connect with friends and take part in activities we couldn’t easily organise ourselves. Since then, I’ve become a leader, passionate about empowering young people. With a background in economics and sales, I’m especially driven to share financial literacy and inspire the next generation."
