We are an enthusiastic team of Christian youth workers based in the local area of Tavistock

We employ a full-time, fully qualified Director of Youth Work who manages a team of trainee youth workers and a team of volunteers. Our trainee youth workers are foundation and degree level students, including some students from South West Youth Ministries (SWYM).

Meet the team

Trudi Massey

Director of Youth Work

Born and bred in Tavistock, I have over 15 years of experience in youth and children’s work and joined Catalyst in 2014. I am a wife to Nick, and mother of four children. I enjoy teaching dance in my spare time!

I am looking forward to a pursing a career as a teacher at Tavistock Community College this year.

Jack Hodge

Student Youth Worker

I joined Catalyst in September 2017 and I have lived in Bere Alston all my life.  I am studying a theology degree with Moorlands College which I aim to complete this year. I am keen on sports – particularly basketball.

I am excited to take on a full-time one year contract with Catalyst as I complete my degree this year.

Lily Doyle

Student Youth Worker

I joined Catalyst as a trainee Youth Worker In December 2020 and I look forward to spending the next year working with Catalyst. Ive grown up in Wadebridge Cornwall. I am excited for the new challenge and can’t wait to see what God does whilst I am with you. I am completing my “Be transformed course” and taking on a 3 year BA this year while continuing to work with Catalyst.

In my free time I love playing netball, going in the sea and walking my puppy.

‘The Support Group helped me with my anger towards my friends, family and teachers. The group helped me to deal with this anger in a more helpful way, which meant that I was able to learn well in school and have a better relationship with my friends and family.’
Year 9 Support Group Student
'Part of my role is to work with vulnerable students, mostly those in emotional circumstances. To be able to offer the support and kindness of Catalyst Youth Workers is paramount. They are and have maintained several students which I have referred. The outcomes have been encouraging for all parties. I would like to thank them all for their dedication.'
Sandra Nightingale - Education Welfare Officer, Babcock
‘I found that I developed in confidence over the year with socialising with other people within the group. This helped me to make more friends in my year.’
