Kym Gleeson - Service Manager
I have worked in the Health and Social Care sector within South Yorkshire for over 25 years. More recently I worked as a well-being coordinator for Age UK to support older people back to a life they loved prior to the pandemic or into a new life post-pandemic.
I have also managed an Extra Care housing scheme for people with complex health needs, supporting and maintaining their independence through different support avenues and activities.
Living in Rotherham, has meant that I have come into contact with people who are providing great health and social care services, and I have also had experience of being on the other side and needing to support and advocate for my daughter with complex health needs to ensure she could have her voice heard to enable her to live as independent a life as possible.
Community Engagement Officer
Starting in January 2026
Danielle Payne - Research and Campaigns Officer
I’ve lived in Rotherham for most of my life before moving to Doncaster in 2019. My entire career has been dedicated to healthcare, with experience in community care, assisted living for young adults with learning difficulties, and supporting individuals with Autism. I also spent six years working for the NHS, where I developed a strong passion for delivering compassionate, person-centred care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time on my allotment with my dogs and chickens. I also have a unique creative hobby as a reptile taxidermist, which allows me to combine my love of nature, art, and anatomy.
Nicola Fells - Information and Signposting Officer
I have lived in Rotherham all of my life and have worked in health care for the last 17 years. My previous role was in Health Information at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust where I worked alongside healthcare teams and partnered with a wide range of social and health services in the area. I get a great deal of satisfaction from providing people with the means to support their health and care for their families.
