Tracey, Mother, sister, aunty, friend. My professional background has been quite varied, from working in the prison service, health and social care sector and for the past ten years I have worked in education as a teacher, mentor, safeguarding lead and am currently completing my training in becoming a counsellor. Outside of work, my interests lie in the creative arts, and have worked with young people to find a voice using the power of song. I am mother to an amazing adult son and daughter and couldn't have done this successfully without my amazing village; so joining MAG has given me this unique and humbling opportunity to widen that experience and be part of this special village as a trustee.

Stephen Dyett - I am a dedicated husband, father, and son and recently completed a BA Hons degree in social work. My journey in the frontline youth work sector began nearly three decades ago, starting with volunteering in 1995. Growing up in Hackney, I was inspired by the incredible youth workers who supported me during my adolescence, fuelling my passion to give back and become the change I wish to see. I am committed to professional development for myself and others and strive to foster growth and positive change in my community. I deeply love good music and movies, which enrich my life and provide balance. As Frederick Douglass once said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men,” a quote that resonates deeply with my mission and values.
