Throughout her career, Helen has recognised that tackling inequality requires more than good intentions—it calls for bold rethinking and rebuilding of the systems and structures that shape our society. To support this work, Helen works with her team at Voluntary Action Sheffield in tools and techniques rooted in consent-based and inclusive models of leadership, that help make sense of complex systems and unlock the potential of individuals through mutual exchange, cooperative principles, and safe spaces for expression. Helen brings a wealth of leadership and development experience, particularly within the third sector, having worked for the last 20 years in the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector, for local and national charities and for a local social housing provider.
