General Manager, Dawn Rivers
Dawn joined the Alice Cross in October 2024 and her role is to manage and develop the services in line with The Alice Cross mission to support health and well-being in the community of Teignmouth, Shaldon and District.
Centre Co-ordinator, Alison Fenton
Alison is the go to person if you need to know what’s going on at The Alice, as she schedules all the events and bookings. She co-ordinates our meal services and bookings and also does all our finance, so she wears many hats in a typical day.
We don’t know what we would do without her!
Marketing, Admin & Volunteer Trainer, Peta Howell
Peta is a brilliant graphic designer and makes sure we are on brand with all our marketing and social media. She also works alongside Alison helping with admin and phone support.
In her Volunteer Trainer role, Peta ensures our team of volunteers have all the skills that they need to be able to preform their roles well.
Peta is also an amazing singer and has performed at many of our events providing wonderful entertainment!
Volunteer Co-ordinator, Yvonne Lamond
Yvonne works closely with our volunteers to ensure they have the best possible experience in their volunteering roles. She works with the volunteer teams to schedule their shifts and provide the information required. She is wonderfully creative and gets the volunteers involved in our community projects, such as the carnival, Pride and the flower festival.
Yvonne is a lot of fun and her positive and up beat nature rubs off on everybody.
Kitchen Manager and Head Chef, Dave Cook
We are very lucky to have such an accomplished chef as Dave on our team. His delicious food is at the heart of all our services and events and we are building a great reputation for our “foodie” events. He works with the support of our wonderful volunteers and brings his expertise to teach them new skills in the kitchen.
Dave has a wonderful sense of humour and makes us all smile every day!
Project Worker, Sue Yates
Sue is the project lead for our Memory Cafe and is trained in Dementia Awareness. She is wonderful with all the guests that attend every week and makes sure that each week’s activities are interesting and stimulate memories and feelings that are beneficial for each person. We often have entertainment and the atmosphere is always upbeat and joyful.
Sue also teaches Digital Skills, enabling older people to navigate I.T. and learning for example, how to set up their phones and ipads. She teaches them skills that make their lives easier and enables them to feel connected!
