Catherine recently joined the board and is excited to be involved in something that will have such a huge impact on the town. Catherine lives in Guisborough and works in Redcar, and her personal values are about helping people to achieve their full potential, hence Catherine’s role at Beyond Housing (the main provider of social housing in the Redcar and Cleveland area).

Part of Catherine’s role at BH is to deliver an employability agenda to support people in our communities into good quality employment. Catherine’s other passions are around health and wellbeing – she has been a run coach and cycle guide leader, and is really keen on improving both physical and mental health. Catherine is therefore enthusiastic about projects that encourage people to come together, to connect, to move more and enjoy the benefits of outdoor spaces.

The Town Deal project is a unique opportunity to deliver transformed local spaces in Redcar that will boost employment and opportunities for leisure, social connection, wellbeing and training.
