Meet the team

Andréa Grosbois

Vice Chair of Trustees

I have over 10 years’ experience working in communications and campaigning, predominantly for the NHS. I believe in inspiring and empowering people to communicate confidently and am a keen campaigner for mental health awareness. I am passionate about co-production and using creative communications to bring people together to create positive change. I have been a carer to family members with mental health challenges and am dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding of mental health. I am incredibly proud to be Vice Chair for CPSL Mind and am a strong believer in the organisation’s values and vision to improve local mental health and build community resilience.

Maria Huber

Treasurer, Trustee

I moved to the UK for my post-graduate studies at the University of Cambridge 15 years ago and later began my working life as a Chartered Accountant for various organisations in Cambridge.  I am now working as the Head of Financial Planning and Analysis at the Royal Society of Chemistry so charity finance is my métier. I enjoy sharing my professional skills to support the fantastic work of CPSL Mind and, having had both personal and family experience with mental health issues, am truly excited to be part of this Board. I consider it a real privilege to work with such an innovative organisation dedicated to making a difference.

Louise Adcock

Trustee

For over 15 years I have worked within commercial sales roles, both at a national and global level. In 2017, I completed my MBA and then moved into a Global Product Management role at Domino Printing Sciences. Since a young age I have had first-hand experience of living with and caring for close family members suffering with mental illness and addiction. It is a privilege to work with the team at CPSL Mind to support their strategy in expanding their services to reach more people within the community. This means we can help to create a happier and healthier society for all.

Carol Clarke

Trustee

I have a real desire to help the world be a better place, bring communities together and support better mental health for all. I have wide professional experience in Human Resources both in the UK and abroad and am a MCIPD generalist with focus on transformation, talent, leadership coaching, training and development.

I have been supporting a local University/college in leading their testing programmes and have held other voluntary roles at CPSL Mind prior to becoming a Trustee.

In recent years I have refocused my life goals and recognise the importance of this for anyone’s wellbeing. I also believe in lifelong learning; have most recently achieved level 1 in BSL (British Sign Language).

Sharon Gilfoyle

Trustee

My career in mental health started 33 years ago as a Nursing Assistant and Support Worker, then subsequently training as a Mental Health Social Worker. I have experience in teaching, peer support, recovery and equality, diversity and inclusion. Throughout my career, I have also experienced my own psychiatric challenges and have used this to help others on their recovery journey.

I have always worked closely with CPSL Mind and became a Trustee in 2017. I am proud to support an organisation that is close to my heart and has a brilliant local reputation.

Anna Granta

Trustee

I am a speaker and coach for neurodivergent adults, I help adults with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia to progress at work while having the energy to enjoy life. I volunteer with CPSL Mind because of my desire to support vulnerable people in my local community. As the people who most need help are least able to pay for it, I balance my coaching business with work that benefits a wider section of the community. I believe that mental health is a huge area of need and that CPSL Mind has a crucial role to play in meeting that need locally.

Richard Young

Trustee

I have over 20 years management experience in HR roles in private sector companies and mental healthcare, currently with Priory Group, covering 29 hospitals across London and the Southern region. I believe that the ongoing development of teams and individuals is essential in helping organisations adapt and change.

I was attracted to volunteering as a Trustee with CPSL Mind because the team does invaluable work supporting some of the most vulnerable people out in our communities. It’s a great privilege to be involved and help out.

I play bass guitar and harmonica but am happiest when spending time with family, friends and my pet dog, Frankie.
