Our Team

Pretty much everything we do at LNT starts with a cuppa and a chat. If you have an idea for a new group or event, or if you think we could be doing things differently, or you want to support our work or become a partner, come and have a chat. We’d love to hear from you.

As Operations Manager, I ensure that everything behind the scenes runs smoothly, so our team and visitors have a safe and welcoming space to enjoy. I help things stay on track so that people can make the most of what the centre offers. I’ve lived in Lockleaze for over 20 years. It is an incredible community, a diverse melting pot that values both its history and its future.

After living in Lockleaze for the past few years and welcoming my baby boy into the world here, I’m proud to be part of this amazing community. I’m incredibly excited to join the team here at LNT,  and to be working with the wonderful residents here in Lockleaze. Please get in touch or stop me for a chat, especially about families and early years.

I’m Maria M, a Community Connector, local resident and pleased to join the team at LNT. I support our resident led Friendly Thursday group, a welcoming space to meet new friends, share skills and be creative. I focus on supporting refugees, asylum seekers and migrant families and work with local partners to engage with the community and promote inclusion through outreach.

You’ll mainly find me on reception or at our weekly Hubbub Café. I’m here to help with booking events, answering enquiries about classes, and sharing information on upcoming activities. I can also signpost you to the right resources if you need support. And of course, I’m always up for a chat!

I’m passionate about communities coming together to make their world a better place, and have been a community and environmental activist most of my adult life. I love the natural world, and I’m happiest on Purdown with my kids and dog! Talk to me about ideas for bringing more nature into our greens, verges, and gardens, as well as ideas for how we can reduce our carbon footprint.

I’m super excited about working with the community of Lockleaze to transform and rewild our green spaces. Talk to me about any ideas you may have for rejuvenating/rewilding our green space in Lockleaze. Also please send any interesting wildlife sightings my way!

I work on communications for LNT, sharing information about events and classes throughout the community- I love knowing about all the fantastic things going on. I put together the newsletter, so do contact me if you have something you’d like to share!
