Meet Our Facilitators!

Paul has worked for decades in large government departments and commercial organisation in change and leadership communications. Currently he is active in the community as a Trustee of Men’s Matters and the Interfaith Group, Windsor & Maidenhead Community Forum as well as being the Chair of the One Borough Group. 

Steve Sansom works for Healthwatch East Berkshire as the officer for RBWM and volunteer lead across all 3 of their patches. Steve is working very hard on all the World Cafe events to promote the Healthwatch Branding and invite anyone with a health or social care issue to contact the Healthwatch Hub to have these logged and investigated. His organisation has recently looked at concerns such as GP Access issues and NHS waiting times, and will be surveying access to NHS dentistry very soon. Steve hopes to see you at the World Cafe Events very soon.

Since Julia retired from her role as a Director for Cancer Research UK she has become very active in local planning matters with groups such as the Society for the Protection of Ascot & Environs (SPAE).  From 2019 she was the deputy Chair of the Maidenhead-based charity SportsAble, which was forced to close mainly because of the impact of the Covid pandemic. For Julia it is all about the importance of community so she is delighted to be able to participate in the World Café programme as this is an innovative and practical way to not just understand the big issues affecting people but to identify ways to help communities develop ideas about how they can help themselves.
