Child Welfare Officer

Amy Hindes

Amy became involved with the club through her children, Mary (U15 Girls) and Gus (U12s). Via her children and her husband (Sean, who plays for the vets and coaches), Amy has somehow found herself increasingly involved in Winscombe AFC - despite a childhood spent doing ballet rather than football! She has especially loved watching the girls’ side develop and is usually found on the sidelines of the U15 girls matches, biting her nails or jumping up and down with pride.

Having spent her career working with children and families, Amy is passionate about making sure every child feels safe, supported and able to enjoy football – which made taking on the role of Welfare Officer a natural fit.
