Amy is incredibly passionate about the young people we work with and helping them to thrive, overcome obstacles and achieve their potential. They see that she is genuine, authentic and committed and respond to this by trusting her.

After leaving school Amy spent a year working for an organisation called Youth For Christ on an estate in East London and knew that she wanted to spend her life working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. She returned to her native Birmingham in September 2005 and for three years combined working for UDB with completing a youthwork degree through St John's Nottingham. She is now our fantastic Youthwork Coordinator and has played a vital role in the redevelopment of The Underground.

Amy got married to Steve in the summer of 2011 and became Mrs Heyes.
