Trustees & Staff
The Meeting Room is overseen and managed by a dedicated team of five trustees – Paul Adair, Harriet Edgley, Richard Furze, Fran Kane, and Belinda Cooper – who each bring different expertise and a shared commitment to supporting people in crisis across Surrey.
​
Our staff regularly go above and beyond what is necessary to ensure no client is left without support. Many have lived experience of the challenges our clients face, and all are deeply connected to the local community, living and working in the area and caring passionately about the people we serve.
​
Lisa Cullen leads our work as Head of Client Support, guiding a skilled and compassionate team of workers and volunteers. Emma is our Client Support Worker, and Mark is our Drop-in Supervisor, ensuring the lunchtime drop-ins operate smoothly and there is a safe and welcoming environment for all who join us.
