Bev Senior - 'I joined Wellforce as I wanted to become involved in some positive activity in and around the Sheffield area. I believe that Complementary Therapy in whatever form is a great addition to all our lives and am delighted to be involved in spreading the word!
I graduated from University in Hull with a Business studies degree and have worked for over 10 years in the licensed hospitality trade as a Business Development Manager working with small businesses in and around the East Midlands and Yorkshire areas.
I enjoy painting, sketching and creating images in wax with encaustic art. I also like to spend time outdoors making the most of our wildlife and countryside by walking, cycling and gardening at home.
Jane Howcroft - Jane has lived in Sheffield since 1984, is a graduate of University of Sheffield and very committed to her adopted city. She has worked for the NHS in management and administration roles since 1990, including business planning, performance monitory, policy development and training, apart from a spell in the civil service between 1996 -2002 where she had a range of roles inlcuding capital planning, ministerial briefing and project management. Jane is currently Chair of the Board of Trustees for Community Action Halfway Home Ltd, a local mental health charity, where she has been a Trustee for 17 years. A very satisfied user of complementary and alternative treatments, including acupuncture and osteopathy, she is excited about potential opportunities of making treatments and therapy more widely accessible to people who have not been able to access them before.
Helena Oades - is a nutritional therapist who has been based at Wellforce for the last 7 years. She is also involved in nutrition consultancy work and contributes to the media on a regular basis. As a practitioner as well as a trustee, Helena is able to understand the needs of therapists, the clients and the charity as they all work to form the new business structure. The ability to treat people who cannot afford complementary health care is something Helena strongly believes in and she is very keen to support Wellforce in providing this exciting opportunity.
