Lee joined the Sandy Bear team in August 2023, havingvolunteered for the charity for four years. She has worked with children and young people for thirty years, as a childminder, LSA and secondary school English teacher.

Her connection with Sandy Bear began when her family received support following the death of her niece. As a teacher, she saw the positive impact Sandy Bear’s involvement had on grieving pupils.

Lee feels privileged to be able to work with bereaved young people and their families. Alongside time spent with her family, she loves watching cricket and singing in a choir.
