Vikki was born and raised in Gateshead, so she is our resident Geordie, she lives with her partner who is a Yorkshireman, and they have a blended family with 5 children. Vikki is a preschool teacher who has a love for the great outdoors and nature, she says that being surrounded by nature is where she finds her peace. She spends as much of her spare time as she can looking for fossils and sea glass, she collects gemstones and loves to get all crafty with a glue stick and loves to read, although as she works full time, she doesn’t get enough time to do the things she loves.
Vikki is our biggest success story, when she first joined group she was as quiet as a mouse and lacked confidence in herself, within a year at group she had really began to shine, she started taking charge of our stalls at events and came up with the ideas to raise our first lots of funds by running games for children on the stall as well as giving our sign posted information and our own leaflets. We are all so incredibly proud of Vikki to see how far she has come over the years. Vikki is always there with the amazing advice for mindfulness and is very knowledgeable in self-help practices.
