Our teams
Our Volunteer Steering Committee
We’re proud to introduce the newly formed Volunteer Steering Committee; a vibrant group of six inspiring women who bring a rich tapestry of lived experience, professional backgrounds, and heartfelt connection to the mission of Happy Me Community CIC.
Each member has witnessed the journey of Happy Me in unique ways. Some from within, deeply involved and have grown with us, and others from a distance, cheering us on and supporting our values. What unites them is a shared commitment to empowerment, kindness, and inclusivity!
Who They Are
These six women come from diverse walks of life, each carrying stories of resilience, compassion, and community spirit. Their experiences reflect the communities we serve, and their voices bring strength, wisdom, and authenticity to our work.
Why They’re Here
In September, this passionate group of women came together forming a Steering Committee with a clear purpose:
To help guide and shape the direction of Happy Me Community CIC over the next year, ensuring we stay true to our values.
What They’ll Do
• Support strategic decisions with lived insight and community perspective
• Champion inclusivity and empowerment in all our activities
• Strengthen connections between Happy Me and the wider community
• Ensure our work remains rooted in kindness, compassion, and real-life impact.
Our Directors
Tik, a proud and tired mom of 3 (Age 4, 11 and 14) who loves photography, and Donna co-founded Happy Me Community; a grassroot group based in Bury, in February 2023. After nearly 2 years, Happy Me Community CIC has been formed in August 2024 to enable us to further develop our offers and expertise beyond Bury, Greater Manchester.
Lilly joined us as a advisory Director in November 2024. She has become a valuable colleague to our team with experience and knowledge, as well as this he is also director of Watering Your Soul CIC. Lilly loves good food and relaxing holidays, often finding herself help people wherever she goes.
We truly believe in collaboration. We aim to bring people together by voicing the fact from our communities, signposting to the current public services and creating offers to bridge the gap between sectors.
