Marie Larvin Chair of Advisory Group
Marie Larvin (who is also known to lots of us as Mazz) is the chair of the Geoff Ashcroft Community Advisory Group. She brings a wealth of experience as a qualified social worker with over 20 years experience across 3 different Local Authorities. She has worked in both Statutory Children's Services and in Adult Mental Health where she also practiced as an Approved Mental Health Professional. Her passions are for working in a strengths based way to utilise the experiences and resources found within families and their communities to address the difficulties people face.
Marie has therefore been pleased to help steer the direction of the Geoff Ashcroft Community since 2006, recognising the important role it plays in creating the space for people to support each other and to feel good in the process.
She is also passionate about sport, particularly women in sport so is hoping to get back to being more active once her body will allow it following recent surgery!
