Lucy Morley - Marketing Volunteer
In today’s ‘Meet The Team’ we chat to Lucy our Marketing Volunteer. She keeps our social media platforms up to date as well as writing all our newsletters.
Lucy may juggle her role with us with lots of other things, but she always makes sure to find time to organise (and attend!) our team socials!
How did you first get involved in HES?
I have been friends with Katy (one of the Hope directors) for a number of years and knew of her work with HES and thought it was a really great organisation. She asked me if I would like to become a volunteer and I was delighted to be able to take her up on her offer.
What specifically does your role involve?
I am a marketing volunteer which involves managing our social media platforms, writing blogs, editing the website and writing our newsletters. I have also assumed the role of social organiser(!) and I sometimes support the directors with administrative tasks.
What do you like most about working for HES?
I love being able to support the directors and teachers in their work teaching and providing hope to so many marginalised people. I have always believed passionately in the transforming power of education, so it is a privilege to play a very small part in the work that HES does.
I also love feeling part of the team – our Wednesdays in the office together are always such enjoyable times!
What else do you do with the rest of your week when you are not working for HES?
Most of my time is spent looking after my three children and all that it involves! I also work part time for Good Taste – The Sheffield Fairtrade Shop, which I love. I am involved in several ministries at our church as well, which include running a new mums group and women’s bible study and assisting on life skills courses run in conjunction with Christians Against Poverty (CAP).
Have you always lived in Sheffield, if not what brought you here?
My family moved to Sheffield when I was 7 years old when my Dad got a job at Weston Park Hospital. Aside from three years at University in York, I have lived here ever since and I love it!
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself?
I love reading and one of my all time favourite books is Harry Potter – in fact I love it so much that I named my first child Harry after the wizard himself!!
