Meet the Team

Rose

I am a community designer.

I take part because I care about people and the world and our futures. I want to be able to influence change in my community and at a wider level.

I started coming to CN4C activities as a user of their services and progressed to being a volunteer and running groups.

Recently I have become a trustee to keep the place I love safe and moving forward.

Karen

I am a community artist living in Redruth.

I have been involved in co-design at CN4C for the last 8 years.

I enjoy drawing and painting pictures that represent our discussions and also write poems on issues that arise in my life.

Sacha

Hiya, my name is Sacha.

I’m 44. I’m not originally from Cornwall but it is now home to me.

I live with my lovely husband in Camborne, who I met through CN4C, so we had a CN4C wedding!

I enjoy gaming, crafting and making people laugh. The reason I want to bring change is I want to give back to the community of Cornwall because it’s given me joy.

Chris

My name is Chris. I am 61 years old and live in Camborne.

I started out on my journey with CN4C in 2019 and with their help and my determination I am in a much better place in my life.

I now volunteer for the organisation and have become a trustee as this is my way of giving back and helping others.

Tammy

I have been involved with numerous co-design events over the years with CN4C. I first joined them over 9 years ago as a service user with my twin sons and then as a volunteer and am now co-chair.

I bring my own lived experiences, particularly as a parent of twins , with one with additional needs. I work to help improve the future of Cornwall so that its more equal for everyone within our county.

Charlotte

I’ve been involved with various events at CN4C and love the work I do with VIVA and as a trustee for CN4C.

I enjoy co-design because as a group we are making a difference to injustice and inequalities in Cornwall. I came to CN4C at a young age with my own lived experiences and from this VIVA has helped me flourish!

Jasmine

Hi, I'm Jasmine. I’ve been involved with community design for over 3 years now.

I started with the young learners project, TOAST which helped me to overcome challenges because of my adverse experiences.

My life is now going well despite all the challenges – I have a new home and am employed part time as a community worker at CN4C.

Richard

Hello, I’m Richard and I volunteer at CN4C doing a variety of activities. I like supporting the groups I attend, and I’m often referred to as incredibly helpful.

I don’t feel comfortable being online and prefer to be behind the scenes when I can, any group photos taken you can thank me as the cameraman.

Sonja

Hello, I am Sonja, I have lived in Cornwall my whole life.

I like being outside and doing puzzles - I like to keep my mind active!

I have a good sense of humour and can make those around me laugh.

I want to help people - in the best way for us both. I joined the co-design team to help me to do this.

‘Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!’

Nal

Hi, I'm Nal! I'm a trans woman in my mid twenties, I work as a social media manager for KeyStone which is a housing start-up partnered with CN4C.

Helping people and making a difference are huge passions of mine and where I find meaning in life, co-design is an ideal place for me to work towards these ideals.

When I'm not social media managing or co-designing I'm window shopping clothes online, playing video games at home or running at my local athletics track.

Supported By

Tarn

Hi, I'm Tarn and I am the CEO at CN4C.

I enjoy supporting our community members to find their courage to speak their truth to power and am a champion of equity, diversity and inclusion. I facilitate co-design with community members and service professionals to design creative solutions to sticky issues.

I’m also a non-executive member of the Integrated Care Board for Cornwall helping to bring about systems change.

Sarah

Hi I'm Sarah and I am CN4C's Strategy and Communications Manager.

I joined CN4C in January and have had the wonderful opportunity of being involved in the co-design project, supporting the team with digital design and administration.

Through this project, I have learnt a lot about lived experiences and speaking truth to power. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this project continues to progress!
