Mel Bridges

Social Hub Assistant

---

I recently joined the JGFC team, having started as a volunteer shortly after the Ripley Hub opened this year.

I am enjoying getting to meet so many wonderful members, and being involved in a variety of activities with them – no 2 days are the same!

Before working here, I worked as a Teaching Assistant in a special needs school. I am a creative person, and did a degree in Creative Expressive Therapies at the University of Derby (Art Pathway).

Outside of work, I am involved in a local church, and volunteer at a Food Bank. I enjoy walking in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, baking, and spending time with my family.
