MEET THE BOARD
Stephen Truelove
From Aircraft Engines to Human Dynamics – a bit about myself.
A proud son of the South Wales Valleys, I was married and a father at 17, working with my Dad at Port Talbot and later at GE Aviation Nantgarw with my brother Mark till his untimely death in a road accident.
For 17 years I worked my socks off to support my family, and then it all fell apart
I tried various forms of therapy and learned a lot about myself. People saw how I had turned my life around and wanted me to help them too, so I began to study in earnest and eventually left engineering to practise as a fully qualified therapist.I also joined a band, Sounds Familiar, with whom I still play sax to this day.
My passion grew to help others to be the best they can.
Rhiannon Jenkins
Rhondda girl born & bred to working class parents that tried to give me all possibilities & experiences by always putting myself & my elder sister first. This was key to my appreciation of my parents’ attitude towards life & how strong they were & made me. This was definitely the foundations for me in employment/career paths, becoming a wife & mother of two beautiful daughters.
I found myself in a competitive & extremely active childhood being a Club Swimmer, Lifeguard & a participant & love for all sports. Physical wellbeing & nutrition was definitely something that came natural to me. As a mother & wanting to make sure that my children were water confident from birth, I found myself wanting to give back a life skill, so I trained as a Swimming Instructor teaching Babies & Children in local pools within RCT. This is part time as a passion alongside my 16-year career in Local Housing.
My many roles within housing has made me see 1st hand what generations of individuals/families may face every day whether it be Relationship breakdowns, Food Poverty, Fuel Poverty, Digital Inclusion, lack of opportunities to progress in schools & higher education, lack of facilities/services in the local area & young & older Carers that go unnoticed. This each comes with physical, emotional & spiritual challenges every day & I am proud that Remember 2 Care have so many professionals that can make a positive change or difference.
I am excited to be part of Remember 2 Care & look forward to how we can empower you to be the best you can be.
Cai Preedy
Hello there, I’m Cai, a bit about myself!
I was born and raised in the Pontypridd Area and have lived here all my life.
I know full well that there is a growing Mental Health crisis in the country with our communities being massively affected. Cost of Living, Job crisis and a growing stigma on appearance and societal attitudes, it can be a really challenging time for people.
I joined Remember2Care when I realised the potential the group had to make real, positive change. Having suffered from Mental Health in the past and continue to suffer – I understand the struggles people have in speaking up and getting help. It’s great to see a group determined in breaking down the barriers and helping our communities.
Tina Jenkins - Treasurer
Denise Jones - Fundraising Manager
My name is Denise Jones. I am a semi-retired Teacher of English, currently working on supply in the Swansea area after remarrying last year. Although I now live and work in Swansea, I am still very much a Rhondda girl through and through and I am also a passionate advocate for strengthening resources and facilities for the people of the Rhondda. I strongly believe that charity begins at home and that we members of the “Rhondda Family”, that have been fortunate to forge some kind of successful careers, have a duty of care to give back to the Valley, and those that live there, in some way. One thing about the Rhondda that bothers me is the lack of real support for those with mental health issues. I have personal experience of this as all three of my children are, or have been suffers and I have witnessed first hand how lacking the care and support around mental health issues can be. That is why I was eager to join the board of Remember2Care and I hope I can add to this already dynamic and forward thinking group.

Nathalie Truelove-McGurn
Hi, my name is Nathalie and I work as a Youth Engagement Facilitator helping young people on their social and emotional journeys. I am very passionate in supporting and guiding young people, helping to make a difference.
Growing up I often considered myself an outsider, lacking in self-confidence and direction. Trying different approaches of therapy, I found myself exploring more holistic approaches such as breathwork and meditation, finding it calming and helping me on my own personal journey.
I have since achieved various qualifications such as youth work, counselling and more, while still working away in the background on my own personal holistic journey, learning new techniques that I could share with others. I aim to continue with my own growth and knowledge so that I can proceed to work with young people who may struggle with similar emotions as I did and more.
Being a part of Remember2Care is an exciting opportunity and I am thrilled to take this journey with so many skilled individuals so that we can continue to learn and grow together.
