RECOVERY & SUPPORT COORDINATOR - EMMA DEANS

Emma has recently joined the Feeling Strong team as the new Recovery and Support Coordinator! She was first introduced to the charity when she took part in the 2020 Dundee University Mountain and Road Riding Club fundraiser and has done various other fundraising events for mental health charities.

Emma has a background in the charity sector with a focus on community, workplace and school engagement, and has helped young people grow in confidence with active travel and getting active for mental health. She is passionate about providing opportunities for all and ensuring there is support in place for everyone who is involved with Feeling Strong. 

When she’s not in the hub you’ll find her outside in the hills, riding a bike, or dipping in the sea for some cold water therapy! Emma is a big believer of getting active and spending time doing what you love for your mental health and wellbeing.
