Our Trustees & Core Team

Katherine has been involved with our CAP debt centre in Sutton since the very beginning. A mum of 3 young children, co-leading C3 UnitedLife Sutton with her husband, life is full of, but Katherine enjoys seeing things grow, flourish and now expand under the banner of Creating Hope. Seeing lives transformed is clearly a passion.

Her desire is to see our work expand to include other services and serve a greater number of people. My greatest joy is to see lives change, people transform and fulfil their God given potential.
