Mae Partridge Joins SWP Board
Step by Step's Head of Foyers and Wellbeing Services, Mae Partridge, has joined the board of the Surrey Wellbeing Partnership. The SWP is a joint venture of local and national charities that share a common goal: to support young people in the community with their mental health and wellbeing needs.
In her new role as a charity trustee and company director, Mae will work alongside like-minded partners to further the provision available to children and young people accessing mental health services in Surrey.
“I am very excited to join the SWP team,” Mae commented. “The partners have achieved some fantastic work already and I’m looking forward to seeing how I can help expand delivery to reach even more young people.”
Step by Step has seen first-hand the growing need for mental health services among young people. Over the last few years, our Counselling service has grown inexorably, now supporting hundreds of young people each year.
Mae explains: “In managing Step by Step’s wellbeing service, I have become starkly away of the true demand for such provision. Therefore, when the opportunity arose to join the partnership, I jumped at the chance. I hope to have a real impact on the partnership, with the aim of reaching more of the young people who need us.”
Last year, Step by Step’s counselling service delivered 2,869 sessions to 491 children and young people in Surrey and Hampshire.
