Background

About Joanne Feaster

Email: joannefeaster@outlook.com or hello@actuallyeducation.com Actually Education CIC is my passion project to enhance understanding and knowledge of mental health and neurodiversity in the education ecosystem to drive meaningful change. We are currently working to secure funding alongside developing our stakeholder network. If you are interested in our work please do get in touch. I have recently joined TTF Ltd as Office Coordinator on a part time basis. TTF specialise in High Frequency plastic welding machinery supply and service and I have really enjoyed working with the team in these early days together. With over 20 years of experience as an operational support manager and administrator in private, public and third sector organisations of varying sizes I have been there and got the t-shirt when it comes to most administration challenges. My core values are kindness, compassion, and collaboration. I have used my experience of depression and anxiety to raise mental health awareness through writing. I raised the importance of mental health awareness and the need to overcome mental health stigma in my chapter of the compilation book Ignite Female Change Makers in 2020 and that spurred the desire to see the change that I now intend to drive through Actually Education. The other main issue I am passionate about is the empowerment of women to achieve their full potential. As such, I am very proud to be one of the group admins for The Career Mum Facebook group. I am also a proud member of the Inspiring Women Changemakers community. You can find links to both in the featured section on my profile.
