The Team

Diane
Bearcroft
I have spent several years working in the care/charity industry, experience which I bring to my role as joint manager of the day services we provide.
In addition, I have worked in the private sector in administration and management roles
This experience is invaluable in managing all aspects of the charities administration helping ensure our clients receive care in a well managed and safe environment.

My experience of caring for and developing care services for those with learning difficulties has been gained over many years.
Prior to joining Newark Mencap, I worked for Royal Mencap so understand the needs of our clients well.​
This experience is now enabling me to develop our day services further through jointly managing the service and ensuring our programmes are stimulating and fun.

I have worked in social care for over seven years and have loved every minute of it.
​I like having fun and laughing and I like to encourage people to have the confidence to participate in activities that they perhaps would not normally do. I also help manage the Gateway Tuesday club.
