Our Chair, Sherrel Fikeis
I have lived in Telford & Wrekin for the past 35 years. In that time I have worked with Local Government, West Mercia Police and the NHS in a number of different roles. My background is Adult and Social care, Psychotherapy and Inclusion
I founded an award winning and nationally recognised day centre which ran for over 20 years, at the time I was not happy with the way adult social care was approached, and I wanted to create a centre that could actually make a difference to the lives of young adults. I also worked as a Psychotherapist both privately and for the Council. In my role for the council I specialised in helping people get back to work. I have also spent 5 years working for the West Mercia Police and Crime Commission trying to repair bridges and improve the public face of West Mercia Police. Since retiring from this I have spent the last few years working as a trustee for a number of charities, for example: The Citizen’s Advice Bureau and a Director for the award winning Tribe Project, which is bringing an exciting new look at how Adult Care is administered at home and the proven solutions to Health and Social care.
