Helen – Lifestyle Coordinator

Helen joined the Oaklands’ team as our Lifestyle Coordinator in 2024, bringing over 40 years of experience in organising events and activities. Born locally in the old Hythe Hospital, Helen has always loved being near the sea and the forest, which is why she’s never left the area. After many years working in various office roles, she decided it was time for a change and is now thrilled to be part of the Oaklands team.

Outside of work, Helen has been a Brownie leader for 39 years, sings with the ‘Goodnight Sweethearts’, a close harmony group, and is a member of the ‘Waterside Musical Society’. She also enjoys dressmaking, dancing, spending time in nature, and supporting local charities and events.

Helen is married with one son and two cats. Her organisational skills and passion for creating engaging activities are what make her such a valued part of our team. Helen hopes that the residents enjoy the activities she arranges and looks forward to spending quality time together.
