Our staff team operates across three locations – Uttlesford, Harlow and Epping Forest. We deliver a broad range of community cohesion and inclusion projects, ranging from mental health support and suicide prevention, through to digital innovation work with minority groups.
Mental Health Discharge Support / Suicide Prevention Work
Ayesha Lawrence – Mental Health Discharge Support Worker
Ayesha Lawrence joined WECAN at the outset, as a United In Kind Coach, back in 2019. Prior to that, Ayesha had worked with families across West Essex for over 8 years in different roles.
Ayesha grew up in Uttlesford and lives in Harlow. A mother, with two young children, Ayesha works across many different community groups, mainly based in Epping Forest.
Ayesha enjoys getting out and travelling; both across communities in West Essex while working for WECAN… and further afield, in her own time.
Ren Kemp – Mental Health Discharge Support Worker
Digital Buddies / Digital Share Project
I am the Digital Lead for a new Digital Inclusion Project for WECAN, named Digital Share. I am passionate about supporting vulnerable adults in West Essex who have suffered through COVID and have been found themselves excluded digitally and need help, guidance and support. I have worked for the voluntary sector for the past 16 years and very much look forward to supporting the West Essex Community and helping individuals to become digitally included and enhance their health & wellbeing.
