Lara joined Barnsley CVS as the CEO in July 2024. After qualifying as a social worker, Lara went on to specialise in supporting survivors of human trafficking. She then spent the next 12 years founding and growing the first charity in the UK, The Snowdrop Project, to provide long-term support to survivors.
Before coming to Barnsley CVS, Lara went on to oversee the national delivery of practical support at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. During this role, she grew in her knowledge and understanding of infrastructure so took on the CEO role at Barnsley CVS to combine her previous experiences.
In her spare time Lara loves being on stage (or watching it, either will do!), the occasional trip to the spa and spending quality time with friends and family (usually accompanied by good food).
