Regional Manager
Fatima joined Family Lives in 2014 after Family Lives won a bid to deliver the Westminster Outreach Services which supports families with children 0-5 years. Fatima has nearly 20 years experience in project managing and developing services; worked with families and young people since 1997 including in a secondary school and Westminster Council's housing benefits team. As a parent to three children, Fatima also took a keen interest in parenting for most of her career.
During her period within Family Lives, her project portfolio has developed to support families with children 0-16 years through befriending, perinatal/antenatal support, young people support services, raising awareness of gang involvement, parenting & mental health and ParentChild+ (a service that helps two year olds develop thier communication as well as their personal, social and emotional development alongside supporting their caregivers). Fatima also has experience of developing assessment processes as well as supporting refugees and asylum seekers.
Fatima's successful team includes Family Support Workers, Volunteer Development Officers, Parenting and Early years practitioners across Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Camden and Tower Hamlets. Fatima supports the development of local services in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team.
