Introducing our staff

Alan Finchett is our General Manager. He has overall responsibility for all that goes on within ENABLE (SHEFFIELD) and for making sure we have sufficient funds to support the centre each year. He works closely with our Board of Trustees reporting information from learner and staff groups, presenting projected budgets and targets and discussing development ideas and plans. Although these are his official duties Alan is very often found working in the garden with the learners. This is what Alan says ENABLE (SHEFFIELD) is all about! |

| Mike Mansell is our Financial Administrator. He keeps the books and presents reports as required for our Accountant, the General Manager and Board of Trustees. This is perhaps the most important job - due to his skills of keeping it all right, everyone else can concentrate on doing their own job well. |  |
