Kathryn Copsey

Kathryn grew up in Japan, the daughter of missionary parents, but found her roots and a place to ‘belong’ in East London where she 'cut her teeth' in inner city children's work running children's activities and researching inner city Sunday schools. A trained community worker, she has been working with children for over 30 years. She founded and is Project Leader for CURBS. Her particular areas of interest are children's spirituality and developmental issues, and she is also branching out training as a play therapist!

Kate Traynor

Kate starting working with CURBS in October 2009. She has been working in East London at the CURBS office base for over 3 years with children/young people and families. She has worked for a Christian charity as family support worker and has a youth work qualification. Kate also has a range of experience of working in community centres and running church based youth/children’s groups. She is really excited about working for CURBS and spreading the message of God’s love with children.

Jean Elliott

Jean works with CURBS one day a week as East London Development Worker. She lives in Walthamstow and is also Children's Work Development Worker for Waltham Forest Deanery. She's worked with children for many years in lots of different contexts, and hopes she is growing more child-like all the time! One great joy was to be involved in setting up 'The Hothouse', an exciting Christian venue for children and families in Aldridge, West Midlands. She loves story writing and art and has contributed to several CUBBS resource packs.
