Simone Caines-Powell

Safeguarding Trustee

More about me

Simone was drawn to Envision by the opportunity to share expertise in safeguarding beyond an educational setting and support an organisation committed to helping young people thrive. As a Trustee, Simone values being a critical friend to the organisation, helping to ensure that its work reflects the needs of young people and creates opportunities for those who may face barriers to success.

A social issue I care about

I am passionate about ensuring young people are given a platform to share their voices and be heard. They are our future leaders, health professionals and community members, and their perspectives will help shape the communities of tomorrow. It is important that we listen to and understand their experiences so that we can create opportunities that reflect their needs. Young people often know what they need and where they want to go; they simply need the right support and guidance to help them get there.
