At S.E.E.D, we have lots of volunteers and facilitators that help us run our Support Groups, Carer’s Clinic and Drop In sessions, as well as marketing volunteers that work alongside our team writing blog posts and creating social media content. As a charity, we value their time and work very highly, as their contribution enables us to fulfil our mission of providing a network of support for sufferers of eating, food and weight related issues. We are proud of our volunteers and facilitators, so we want to introduce them here to help you put a face to a name when accessing our services.
Zahra Moreea – Team Leader
Zahra joined S.E.E.D as a Facilitator 4 years ago. She explains “I love being able to help people find the tools they need to map out their recovery journey. I’ve facilitated our Drop-In service, Carer’s Advice and Information Clinic and currently still facilitate our Support Group service.”
Zahra’s role as Services Coordinator/Manager is to look after all of S.E.E.D’s support services as a whole, and the team of facilitators that run our groups. She also provides our Eating Disorder Training workshops to new facilitators and clinicians here at S.E.E.D and Breathe, helping our team to understand the field and how their skills fit when providing treatment or support.
Outside of her voluntary work with S.E.E.D, Zahra works in psychology in the NHS.
Aside from being passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing, Zahra loves poetry and make-up!
She says.. “I am always happy to chat; I haven’t yet found a better way to make myself or others feel better than by talking!”
