Meet the Team

Our Team seeks to be community innovators and inspire others to do the same. Primarily they are here as a community development organisation, to bring people and organisations together to keep the community story alive here in Lubbesthorpe. You can read more about our Team below.   

Directors' of the social enterprise occupy an important position of trust.  General Company law imposes on them a range of duties to the company and other statutory responsibilities.   The majority of our Directors are voluntary with the exception of Sue Steer who carries out the joint role of Pioneer Community Worker for LA.  Lubbesthorpe Alive also employees Becky Harris as Community Organiser.

Sue Steer - Pioneer Community Worker 

Director/ Designated Safeguarding lead

I have worked in community engagement for 15 years, setting up welcoming community spaces and groups from scratch. This included renovating a disused building and turning it into a new Community Centre, community cafe's, foodbanks, wellbeing and dementia groups as well as fresh expressions of church.

Becky Harris - Community Organiser 


I moved to Lubbesthorpe in March 2018 and have since welcomed two children. I love being part of this vibrant community, where I have the privilege of both living and working. Contributing to the strong sense of community here is incredibly rewarding.

Jo Kennedy - Volunteer Chair Director 

I moved to New Lubbesthorpe in June 2018 with my little boy.  As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the Pioneer Community Worker.  I automatically felt a sense of warmth and belonging within the community.

Jenny Bowman -  Volunteer Finance Director

Since moving to New Lubbesthorpe in 2020 with my son and husband, we now have a daughter, 2 dogs and 2 cats! We moved here as we wanted to live somewhere with a real community feel, as well as a good school for our children to attend.

I feel if you want to benefit from a great community you need to be involved which is why I joined the Lubbesthorpe Alive board as Finance Director in April 2024.

Luke Pulford - Volunteer Business Development Director 

My wife and I moved to New Lubbesthorpe with our three children from LFE in mid-2022. I really wanted to get involved in trying to do what I could to help build a strong community in the area we live. It's great to see the progress that the staff and directors have made.


Peter Steere - Volunteer Events Director / Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead


I moved to Lubbesthorpe in June 2017 with my wife and our son, and soon after moving, son number two. We have been part of a community that has grown together, whether toddler groups, playing five-a-side, coffee mornings or trips to the pub with new friends!
