Amy has a lifetime of experience working with disabled children and adults. Her journey began in the voluntary sector with the Catholic Fellowship Wanstead and Woodford group when she was just 13 years old. It was here that she met her lifelong friend, Sinead—a friendship that laid the foundation for her passion and unwavering commitment to care. This early experience shaped Amy’s belief that caring wasn’t just a job, but a calling.

Driven by a strong ambition to grow as a carer who genuinely cares, Amy has maintained long-standing relationships with children and young people with disabilities, continuing to support them and their families. It was through this work that she met Mary, Gary, Hugh, and Grace—an encounter that marked the beginning of what would later become Access All.

Amy continues to work directly with children and young people with physical disabilities, complex medical needs, behavioural challenges, and communication difficulties. As her career progressed, she became an effective service manager and led several services for children with complex needs in the London Borough of Redbridge.

Beyond service delivery, Amy has also worked as an advocate for disabled children and adults, collaborating closely with individuals and families to ensure their voices are heard and that they are meaningfully included. This advocacy work led to her partnership with Debbie, who also played an instrumental role in the creation of Access All. Together, they have strived to improve outcomes for disabled children and their families.

In recent years, Amy has volunteered at a local school, running a dedicated siblings group for children who have disabled brothers or sisters. She attends weekly and is deeply committed to ensuring that these siblings feel heard and supported. Her passion for this work stems from close friendships with individuals who have siblings with disabilities, giving her a strong sense of empathy and insight into their experiences.

Amy remains an active volunteer with the Catholic Fellowship, continuing to support families at events and community gatherings. She also serves as the Safeguarding Officer for a local gymnastics club, where she offers her expertise to promote safety and wellbeing within the local community.

Academically, Amy holds a BA (Hons) degree in Special Needs and Inclusion Studies, combined with Early Childhood Studies, a Level 5 qualification in Management, and a Level 3 qualification in Learning Disability Studies. Like Mary, she is also a qualified trainer and assessor.
