Lorraine joined the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) in September 2022. As the network manager she is responsible for overseeing the work of the Alliance. Alongside the team, she provides support to arts organisations working in criminal justice and advocates for greater access to arts and culture for people in the criminal justice system, as a springboard to positive change.
Lorraine has over 30 years' experience of working in the voluntary sector as a facilitator, trainer and leader within creative and community development. She has spent the best part of her career working within the arts and social justice, having held senior positions for organisations such as Clean Break, Project 507 and The Roundhouse. Lorraine is the creator and driving force behind “Iam”, a not for profit that connects, supports, advocates and highlights Irish people of Mixed Ethnicity/Multi Heritage and Global Majority.
Lorraine has a passion for trauma responsive work and is an avid supporter of equity and inclusion. When not trying to unite the world, Lorraine can be found making apple pie with her grandchildren or dancing and singing (badly) in the shopping aisles of the local supermarket.
