Meet The Team
Suzie Drye
Chief Executive officer
Hi I’m Suzie. I started working with TAYCT in 2021 and love playing an active role in our community. I manage our fundraising efforts and look after the smooth running of the charity, working closely with key partners including Tetbury Town Council and the Cotswold Youth Network.
I live in Tetbury and have 2 children at St Mary’s and SWR schools. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, I’m a keen reader and member of a local book club, and I try to keep active with yoga, gardening, long walks and the odd run around Tetbury.
Lisa Hoult
Head of Youth Services and deputy safeguarding lead
Hi I’m Lisa. I live in Tetbury and am at The Pod for both of the evening sessions. I have been working with families & young people for many years in a variety of settings and specialise in engaging vulnerable young people with social, emotional & behavioural difficulties.
I have 2 young children and when I’m not at The Pod I can usually be found walking around Westonbirt, playing down at The Goods Shed & trying to keep fit.
What others say about Lisa - She always seems to have things under control. She has clear boundaries, a no messing attitude and is happy to have those ‘embarrassing conversations’ - whatever they may be. She sees and brings out the best in the young people she works with.

Our Trustees
Steve Scott (Scotty)
chair of TrusteeS
Hi I’m Scotty. I have lived in Tetbury for 11 years and have a lovely wife and 6 adult children. I have previously been involved in running youth work for many years and although less hands on now, I am still passionate that young people have opportunities and spaces to be themselves and receive the support they need. I am a software developer during the day and I run my own business which is based in Tetbury. If that doesn't keep me busy enough I love to dress up and go on stage, as well as running which helps with the fact that love spending time chatting and relaxing with family and friends eating good food.
What other people say about Scotty - He is a larger than life character and is great at throwing himself into the things he commits too. He is community minded and keen to engage and bring out the strengths of those he works with.
Annie Evans
Trustee - Mental Health SPECIALIST & safeguarding lead
I began working with TAYCT in 2019 when I expressed a desire to see more support for children and young people’s mental health in Tetbury and found this fitted well with the aims and visions of TAYCT. I currently work for Place2Be a national mental health charity which works across schools in the UK.
