Chair

 

Jill has lived in Winsford for fourteen years and been part of WINCAP for twelve of those.  Jill has worked in a voluntary capacity for several organisations in Winsford, including Winsford MIND, Winsford, Northwich & Middlewich Sea Cadets, Voluntary Action Vale Royal, Winsford Playschemes, Over4All Residents Association and many more.  Whilst speaking to people and in particular young people in Winsford, Jill recognised the need to have a dedicated community centre run by the community.  It has taken a long time to achieve the dream, but despite several hiccups along the way, Jill never wavered from this aim. 

 

Secretary

 Carol Halpin was the Secretary for Over4All Residents Association, which met at the centre.  Carol soon joined WINCAP and with other people in the community, formed a strong and committed group of people who shared the same dreams and aspirations for Winsford and WINCAP as Jill.  Carol has also worked for several charitable organisations in Winsford and is currently employed as a Community Development Worker for Wharton Library's 'WOW' project.

Dominic McQuaid

Treasurer

Dominic joined WINCAP in 2005 - no one else wanted to take on the dreaded accounts!  WINCAP is fortunate in that it now employs someone to do this task, but Dominic has remained with WINCAP and can usually be found fixing someone's IT equipment.

Neil Hamlet

Project Worker

 Neil was the first paid member of staff with WINCAP and has been with WINCAP since 2004 as its Project Worker.  Neil has been dedicated in finding out what training local organisations needed to develop, and finding funding to provide the training.  Organisations that have accessed free training at the centre through WINCAP has included Winsford Youth Forum, Over4All, Grange, Wharton, Greenfields, Glebe Green and Greville Resident & Tenant Associations, Orchard Christian Fellowship, several youth groups both in and around Winsford, Jumping Jelly Beans and many more.
