Fun fact: Tim likes to wind up his friends and family ‘up north’ on social media by posting very sunny pictures and using #torbaydos

Charlie Haywood

​After completing a degree in Business Studies at The University of Plymouth Charlie started her working life in Human Resources and Training at Nortel. In 2002, following 8 years with the company, she took voluntary redundancy and got married. That is when she first got involved with LiNX as a volunteer and then administrator. She left temporarily in 2004 to have 2 children but returned in 2009 as a schools worker. Her passion is to see young people find wholeness in every aspect of their life and to meet with the God who knows and loves them.

Fun fact: Charlie has lived in 22 different houses/flats since she was born. She is now settled in her 23rd (hopefully!)

Matt Turner

Matt started with LiNX back in 2007 having previously worked in local church youth work and with South West Youth Ministries. With a background in education Matt is always looking for the best way to combine the message of the gospel with engaging and inspiring lessons.
 
Fun fact: Since the birth of his daughter, Matt claims his proudest achievement is being retweeted by Cbeebies!

Philip Eley

​Philip has an MA in Youth and Community work, as well as a teaching qualification. He is one of the church leaders at Roselands Community Church, and lives in Paignton with his wife and 3 children. Much of his recent training has been around Emotional Health, and he uses this knowledge and experience when writing and developing short courses and small group work. He also particularly loves mentoring and one-to-one listening.

Fun fact: Philip can fit a whole tennis ball in his mouth and close his mouth shut around it.

Jordan Williams

Jordan has been working with LiNX since January 2016 and works primarily within the alternative provisions of Torbay and mainstream secondary schools behaviour intervention teams. He previously worked as a Child Protection Officer within a local secondary school, as Youth Pastor at his church and has studied at Marjons University BA Hons in Youth and Community Work.
 
He has lived in Torbay his whole life and got married in June 2017. Jordan loves football and supports both West Ham Utd and Torquay Utd. He always tries to be positive, which helps in supporting these Football teams as they need as much positivity as they can get!

Chris Carter

Chris has worked at LiNX since 2006, and seen the work grow. Her work is based in the office and amongst other things, Chris handles the accounts, payroll and many of the administrative tasks along with helping at LiNX's activity week Elevate, in the summer.
