Our Staff

I’m Jane and I am the Interim Operations Lead at The Maggie Oliver Foundation. I am thrilled to be able to bring my skills to the front as I lead on fundraising, press and media, strategic development, organisational change, and in helping our amazing team with all the day to day operational issues and service delivery - all vital tasks that ensure we at the Foundation are able to offer first class support to adult survivors of sexual abuse.

I have a long and successful career delivering transformation, people and culture strategies and plans at Board/Executive level in the not-for-profit, public sector – both local and central, as well as commercial and educational sectors.  With my many years of expertise in these areas as well as in HR, I am excited to be able to help the Foundation through the next critical stage of its evolution.

As the Emotional Support Manager, I oversee and coordinate all our 'Pain into Power' emotional support services. My responsibilities include conducting all initial screenings for victims/survivors who are seeking our support to determine their suitability for our services and how best we can help. In addition, I am also responsible for recruiting and onboarding our incredible volunteer ambassadors, soon to be a total of 40.

They are the lifeblood of TMOF, and my role includes conducting all necessary checks to ensure each one is suitable to work with those we support and that their views align with our values, and they will fit well within our amazing team.

Leading this process means I get to know them very well and hence know instantly which ambassador will be best suited to each survivor we support. This is a key part of my role, and one I take great pride in. It means I can thoughtfully match every survivor with the ambassador best suited to support their individual needs throughout the duration of their time with TMOF.

Hello! I am married to Steve and we have 6 grown up children.

I started my working life, a very long time ago, in advertising and marketing in a production role. Once I had my children I re-trained and eventually enjoyed a new career supporting children with additional needs in a local primary school. This progressed to a further 15 years working within Early Years. I was always drawn to supporting families and left in 2015 to start my own childminding business. I employed my eldest daughter and we enjoyed providing a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment for children where we were able to develop fantastic relationships with lots of wonderful families.

Despite my background in Education and on-going training in Safeguarding and Child Protection it came as a huge shock to discover that my youngest daughter was a victim of grooming and CSE. She was just 14 years old. This led to heart breaking events around self-harm, overdoses and drug and alcohol abuse. Around this time ‘The Three Girls’ was brought to my attention and that was when I first heard about Maggie Oliver.

Hello, I’m Cecile and I am delighted to join The Maggie Oliver Foundation as the Operations Coordinator.

I have extensive experience in administrative support and event organisation and bring a wealth of expertise in coordinating behind the scenes operations for TMOF.

I am skilled at developing systems that maximise efficiency and resource utilisation, ensuring TMOF operations are both streamlined and effective. Whether overseeing fundraising events, engaging with donors, or managing internal processes.

I am committed to creating a positive, results-oriented atmosphere that strengthens the foundation's impact and broadens its reach. I’m genuinely excited to work alongside Maggie, and the entire team as we keep making a meaningful impact on the lives of those who turn to us for support, as well as those who have yet to benefit from the help we offer.

Hello, my name is Mayameen, but you are welcome to call me ‘Maya’.  

I am delighted to join the Maggie Oliver Foundation as a Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate and live out my passion and mission supporting and advocating for survivors. I have been working within the field of sexual violence for over 10 years as a Trauma Specialist, Educator and Accredited Trainer.

My passion is driven through my lived experience as a CSA Survivor. I gained national media attention and recognition when I waived my lifelong anonymity in September 2018, exposing the serial sexual abuse at the hands of my father, during his release from prison after serving just 6 years of his 10-year sentence.

I have used my survivor voice to successfully pave the way to changes in policies and forcing change within fractured services for better victim protection.

My name is Mary and I am immensely proud to be part of the staff team at The Maggie Oliver Foundation as a Senior Sexual Abuse Advocate. I am able to put my knowledge and my experience as a former police officer to good use in this role, advocating for all those who come to us often having been failed by ‘the system’.

I completed a hugely rewarding and successful 30-year career within policing where I worked as a Detective on extremely challenging investigations whilst supporting victims through some of the most traumatic events of their life. I worked across many areas of policing but the area I was always drawn back to was that of Public Protection where I was able to support both children and adults who had experienced sexual abuse and exploitation.

This work gave me great insight into the intricacies and standards of how an investigation should be handled as well as the judicial process. As an experienced investigator, I witnessed first-hand the devastating impact such investigations would often have on victims as well as family members desperate to support their loved one, especially when they were not being treated fairly or empathetically.
