Charles is a retired NHS Projects Manager and a Taverham Parish Councillor. He was member of the long-established Phoenix group in Hellesdon and helped moved the group to and is actively involved in the Norwich Pit Stop activities.

Tim has a longstanding interest in mental health, community-building and personal development having worked in organisations within these fields for much of his life. A marketing and communications professional by trade, he now works part-time as a freelance consultant. Tim understands first-hand some of the challenges that MensCraft seeks to help men overcome, connecting with the idea that men need specific support, but within a context of gender equality. Reaching and engaging men in crisis is fundamental to the success of organisations like MensCraft, and this underpins and motivates Tim’s role as a trustee. In his broad and varied career, the thing Tim is most proud of is helping people and organisations to find, use their voice, tell their story, and raise their profile.
