Meet The Team

At the Goods Shed, we may have a small team of staff, but what we lack in size we make up for in passion, warmth, and community spirit. Whether you're visiting for the first time or a familiar face, you'll always be greeted with a smile. Drop in and say hello!

Volunteers

We are incredibly lucky to have a large and dedicated team of volunteers - the beating heart of The Goods Shed. They work tirelessly across a range of roles, including:

Maintaining our garden and outdoor spaces
Preparing food and homemade goods for the café
Supporting events and day-to-day activities
Offering invaluable skills and time to keep the site thriving

The Goods Shed simply wouldn't be what it is today without them.

Trustees

Our Board of Trustees brings together a wealth of experience - from heritage and construction to hospitality, finance, fundraising, and community development. Some have been with us since the very beginning of the restoration journey, helping to shape and support the vision of The Goods Shed. They work closely with staff to guide the charity's mission and ensure its long-term sustainability.

Yvonne Rodgers, previously Director of Barnardos Cymru, is responsible for all community engagement matters and currently serves as Chair.

Richard Roper, Trust Secretary, has a wealth of project management experience, having previously worked as a project manager for Network Rail.
