Tessa has a career of 20 years working in the voluntary youth sector, including spells at the National Youth Agency, the Young Foundation and the Regional Youth Work Unit in the South West. She is home based, and lives in Frome. She works alongside Blagrave partners to learn from their work with young people and support successful grants.
