Name: Wendy Esterhuysen
Type of Trustee: Ordinary Trustees
Date first appointed: March 2023
Committees/Special responsibility: Peoples Committee
Background (employment, experience etc): I am a qualified Social Worker, and play therapist, with over 20 years’ experience in working with children and families in different contexts. I have experience in both front line and managerial roles in the Local Authority, Charity and Private sectors. I bring this experience to the Board of Trustees.
Why I became a Trustees:
I have volunteered in the past at charitable events or services as I feel it’s important to give back to the community around you. My daughter recently started at Cox Green and I have been impressed with the staff work ethic and support offered. I would like to offer my time to support Cox Green to go from strength to strength as I offer feedback as a critical friend with a strong focus on vulnerable children within the school community.
