Meet The Team!

Our Core team is responsible for the general running of YouBelong, and most importantly in making sure that YouBelong remains a safe and positive environment, where people can flourish.

We meet monthly, in order to plan events and to make sure everything is running smoothly. We always appreciate your prayers!

Rose Mulvey

Hi, I'm Rose. I live with a disabling chronic illness. I love the YouBelong Community because I'm accepted for who I am. Among the people here my struggles and limitations are understood and do not diminish my value and worth. It is important to me that everyone feels welcomed, loved and included. I love nature, growing things in my garden and watching birds come to my birdfeeders. I love music, singing, and the theatre, especially musicals. I love to read books and write. Jesus is my guiding light.

This is Alison who is Youbelong safeguarding support.

Hi, I'm Chris, a househusband and carer. I try to follow Jesus, whilst coping with the frustrations of M.E. God gets me through each day, pointing out amazing stuff, and meeting brilliant people on the way, such as YouBelong. I relax by writing and playing the piano.

Nicci Lane

I'm Nicci and I live in the heart of Worcestershire. Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue keep me mainly housebound.I love the YouBelong Community for its friendship and inclusivity, and I'm delighted to be able to give something back by working on the team. I'm a worship leader at heart and I'm passionate about helping people to understand their worth as children of God. My favourite place to be is the sea. I also love my 'den' in my garden where I can pray, do jigsaws, connect on Zoom calls, or just 'be' in the moment.

Anderson Marsh

Hello, I’m Anderson. I'm an ordained minister. My main focus is Pastoral and Prayer. I’m told I’m a good listener, and I create spaces for people to be heard and seen, I believe everyone has their own unique shape (a talent or something that makes you, you), and I try to encourage people to find their shape, that unique spark within each of us.

Prayer is foundational, and I want to pray for and with you. God wants us to be real, no pretending everything is fine.

I’m owned by a 5-year-Old Border Terrier called Cosmo, she’s a whirlwind of chaos, loves walks, dislikes birds and other dogs, except Teddy, who is her current dog friend!
