Kerri

Hello my name is Kerri. I am a targeted practitioner at ReFRESH

I have worked with young people and families within Hull City Council in various roles for over 18 years and have been with ReFRESH since 2016. I enjoy working with a great team and find the work both challenging and rewarding.

In my spare time I enjoy walking, listening to music, cooking (although not very good) eating lots of chocolate and spending time with my family and friend’s.  I used to play netball and like to watch Rugby League and football

I try to go on holiday as much as I can and my favourite destinations are Greece, The Lake District and the North Yorkshire Moors.

If I’m not at work or on holiday, I take myself off to my caravan on the coast and enjoy the peace and quiet where I can chill out and relax.

Sami

Hi! My name is Sami, I am the Recovery and Engagement worker at ReFRESH. I support our team of brilliant volunteers as well as working with young people  in a more short-term way.

In my spare time I love cooking, camping and being outdoors walking, listening to music and attending gigs and looking after (annoying!) my dog, Ralph!

I have been with ReFRESH since the beginning of 2015 and I love working with the team.

Gary

Hi, my name is Gary. I have been a ReFRESH Targeted Practitioner for approximately a year and half, after working in adult substance misuse for 13 years. I love the nature and variety of the work at ReFRESH, and take huge reward in seeing young people improve their lives by developing problem-solving skills, making safer choices, and realising their potential. I feel lucky to be part of such a diverse team of highly-skilled practitioners here at ReFRESH.

In my spare time I enjoy running, and am passionate about the links between exercise and better mental health. I also enjoy British cinema and reading. My favoured book choices are biographies, true crime and the paranormal.

Jenna

Hi I’m Jenna. I’ve been working with children, young people and families for the last ten years. I worked at Refresh for about four years before moving to be a family worker for Renew. I realised that my passion was supporting young people and came back at Refresh. I have worked as a Young Peoples Targeted Practitioner and now I am the Training and Brief Intervention practitioner.

Before working with children, young people and families I worked in schools supporting young people with autism.

In my spare time (not that I get much with two young boys!) I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I enjoy going out for meals or chilling out at home with a good film and lots of chocolate!!

Kirsty

Hello my name is Kirsty and I have worked at ReFRESH for 6 years.

I am the administrator for the ReFRESH Team, which means when contacting ReFRESH I’m your first point of contact.

In my spare time I like to spend quality time with my family and friends.

Jade

Hey, I’m Jade.
I have recently joined Refresh in November 2022 as a Targeted Practitioner.
Over the last 6 years, I have cared and supported a family member who has had difficulties with using substances and I think this is where my passion for working with young people began. I believe every young person deserves to live a safe and happy life where they can achieve their goals. I understand the difficulties young people face therefore I think it’s important young people know they are cared for and not alone.

In my spare time I love going to the gym. Alongside the gym, I like to spend time with my friends and family. I love listening to music and enjoy going to music event/festivals.

Another hobby of mine is buying clothes and more clothes! I love going out for food and trying new things.

My top two series I can watch repeatedly are Friends and Power.
