⚙️ Youth Workers ⚙️

🥁 Louise – Project Leader

I like doing craft and going for long walks by the sea or in a forest. I love learning drums even though I’m not really musical. I love youth work in Govan. The best part of following Jesus is knowing he loves me whether I’m feeling loveable or not! I studied youth work at International Christian College but I’ve learned most about youth work from young people.

🎨 Michael – Youth Worker

I was born in Nigeria but largely I’m a Glesga boy. I love anything to do with culture, youths, and art. I was pursuing the world of fashion and was hand-picked to be an industry star but God called me out of there and revealed to me that he wanted me work with young people and be a role model for them. I struggled with it but decided to let go and allow God to have his way in my life and today I can confidently say I’m no longer swimming against the current.

⚙️ Trustees ⚙️

🎶 Ellen – Secretary

Ellen worked part-time for New Team as a youth worker and administrator from the autumn of 2020 to the summer of 2022 while she was studying languages and then Adult Learning, Community Development & Youth Work. She works for a social enterprise that provide “tailored support to social enterprises, community groups and charities to help them towards greater sustainability and effectiveness.” She’s known on the youth work team for her mini golf win on a staff night out. She enjoys being part of a musical theatre club and going to concerts of her favourite pop star! As well as being a trustee, Ellen volunteers as a youth worker for New Team.

🚴 Grace – Trustee

I am a full-time mum with 3 young children.  In the past I worked as a primary school teacher and will go back to work once my children are older. I like to be outdoors, walking or cycling and enjoy exploring Scotland. We have a campervan and are looking forward to the nice weather so we can go on some adventures. We are part of a local church and I am on the crèche team which is lots of fun. 

🎮 Carys – Trustee


Carys worked with New Team as a part-time youth worker 2019 to 2023. From 2025 she has returned as a trustee. She works for a Christian charity that aims to end UK poverty. Carys enjoys exploring new villages with her husband- especially charity shops and cafes. When she’s at home she loves playing games on her Nintendo Switch and reading fantasy books.
