Trustees
Annabel
YWMP is at the core of community here in Oxford, and I am honoured to be a part of something that positively impacts the lives of young and older people alike. Creativity and social consciousness are at the core of YWMP, and it is my commitment to ensure that spirit continues to flourish and grow for years to come!
I am involved in the DIY grassroots music community through Divine Schism (shows and label) and WeGotTickets (ticketing), working with a variety of artists, promoters and venues around the UK and beyond. As a YWMP trustee I use my passion, knowledge and people skills to help the team with events, fundraising ideas and in turn help raise awareness for the charity as much as possible through my own work.

As Treasurer, I bring extensive financial expertise as well as a passion for music and education to YWMP. With a solid background in senior finance roles and a strong commitment to empowering women, I ensure the financial health and sustainability of the charity. I find immense joy in being part of a team that makes a tangible difference in the lives of these young women, fostering their creativity and self-expression through music.
In my journey as an early childhood consultant, I’ve discovered a profound truth: children move to a rhythm of their own choreography, a melody that echoes the heartbeat of life itself. This rhythm is the key to creating therapeutic spaces that not only nurture children but also inspire educators. When we design with the child’s well-being at the forefront, we create a symphony of growth and learning that resonates with everyone involved. YWMP inspires me to take this understanding and using it to create therapeutic spaces that support wellbeing for all.

Fenella
Being a Trustee of YWMP has been one of the greatest experiences that I’ve had. I have found it rewarding and inspiring to support an organisation that plays such a key role in the lives of young women, trans and non-binary people in Oxford, and challenges the systems of inequality that surround them. My role has mainly been to support the development of governance policies and practices, and help to design some management processes. It is a joy and privilege to be part of it.
As a trustee, I’m fortunate to support YWMP in making space for care, creativity, and community in Oxford’s historically narrow and inequitable music scene and beyond. In my day job, I work in the aid and development sector on protection against sexual exploitation and abuse, where my approach is informed by survivor-led and intersectional feminist lenses.
Laura
I am a Humanistic Transactional Analysis therapist working in Oxford, experienced in exploring sexuality, gender, neuro diversity and the impact of living in a heteronormative / neurotypical society.
I strive to be a positive force in this wonderfully dynamic project. As a trustee I aim to listen, learn, engage, encourage, challenge & support. YWMP has a huge heart that celebrates & empowers in our community, I am proud to be a small part of that.
