Charlotte (Charlie) Hart - she/her
When working at The Challenge, Sherry’s drive to help all young people access the additional support they needed to engage with all activities was evident from the very start. She used her extensive knowledge to come up with thoughtful, practical solutions and supported our team to thrive during some busy times! She managed our team with a calm, considerate manner and I personally learnt so much about how to juggle a heavy workload whilst maintaining high professional standards. I would not hesitate to professionally recommend her to anyone.
