Overall leaders
Meet the overall leaders who lead the team of volunteers on the holiday. The volunteers come from all walks of life and most of them have been involved with the holiday as young people or leaders for many years.
Chris Ward
Chris runs a small IT firm in Hampshire. He is a volunteer youth leader in his local church, and started going on this youth holiday when he was 14 years old. Occasionally you'll find him on a Cumbrian fell...running.

Becky Ward
Becky volunteers in the youth work at her local church and has worked with young people for over 30 years. She now divides her working life between research consultancy and a homeless project in Southampton. She loves coffee and cycling.
Rachel Beaton
Rachel works for an international energy company. She first came on this youth holiday as a young person a few years ago(!) and is involved in youthwork and music in her local church.
Matthew Clucas
Matthew is a Maths teacher. He has only been coming on youth holidays for 30 years (to be fair he was less than a year old on his first one so he isn't that old).
