After 20 years working with children and families in children’s nurseries, adventure playgrounds, youth services and family support programmes, Elen studied Music Therapy at Roehampton University. Bringing her knowledge of managing services in the charitable sector and working with communities, Elen established Whale Song in October 2019 to provide music therapy services in her home borough of Waltham Forest. Elen leads on Whale Song’s community programmes and fundraising strategy whilst also delivering music therapy services in local schools.
Clare has been working for Whale Song for almost 3 years and has been working as a Music Therapist for 30 years. Initially, Clare studied music at Essex University and then went on to study Music Therapy at Roehampton University. Clare has worked with adults with learning disabilities and extensively with children with learning disabilities covering a wide range of ages both in special schools and mainstream settings.
Geanina is a finance and accounting professional with over 15 years’ experience in various industries, in both private and voluntary sector from small to large organisations.
