Who we are

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

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 joined Catalyst in September 2017 and I have lived in Bere Alston all my life. This is my first experience of youth work and I’m really enjoying it. I am studying a theology degree with Moorlands College. I am keen on sports – particularly basketball.

I am originally from Brixham, Devon. I joined Catalyst in September 2016. I am currently studying a degree in Applied Theology specialising in youth ministry with South West Youth Ministries (SWYM) and Moorlands college.

I live in the Tavistock area and I joined Catalyst in September 2019. I have had experience in Youth Work already and I am now excited to be studying with South West Youth Ministries towards my degree.

Supporting groups and churches

‘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.’

'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.'

‘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.’
