MEET OUR STAFF

Cheryl Batwell

Community Development Manager

I joined Waltham Community Cottage almost 4 years ago as the Community Wellbeing Coordinator
and recently took over as Community Development Manager
after Adrienne Carmichael retired at the end of March 2021.
I will ensure, through networking, funding and valuing community knowledge that the community continues to have a place
at the Cottage where development and personal growth happens.

Laura Gardener

Community Programme Coordinator

 Kia Ora, I have recently started at the cottage and already feel at home. I have a background in mentoring and supporting youth and have previously run physical activity and cooking courses. My role is to encourage and support community members to participate in the cottage programmes and ensure they are what the community needs. I am always here for a friendly chat so pop in anytime.  ​​

Evelyn Lawson​

Treasurer/Funding Officer

My position involves keeping things ticking over financially.  This means applying for funding and managing the finances. I have had many years experience working for not-for-profit organisations and have been with Waltham Community Cottage since May 2016.

Many thanks to

The Cottage would not function without their hard work and dedication towards their fellow community members.
