Charlene Frodsham - Belong Wigan - Experience Coordinator

Local community champion, Charlene Frodsham, from Wigan, joined the team at Belong Wigan early 2021, taking up the post of Experience Coordinator and working alongside residents and colleagues to provide a creative programme of meaningful occupation via events, one-to-one and group activities. 

Initially from a customer service background, Charlene's enthusiasm and cheerful nature prompted her to take on the role of community champion for the supermarket brand Asda. It was here that her talent shone as she organised community challenges and fundraising activities for local groups and charities, including those which provide dementia care and support for adults with learning disabilities. When donating board games to Belong, she was 'blown away' by their set-up, which far exceeded her expectations of a typical care provider. Upon learning about the vacancy of Experience Coordinator, Charlene was excited to apply, feeling this was an opportunity that she couldn't let pass by.

Taking a leading role in both these programmes, Charlene will be working closely with the residents and providing activities to inspire and delight them.
