This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Abi, our Housing and Homelessness Worker!

 

Abi joined Pathways quite recently in 2026 after completing her degree in Forensic Psychology. She was drawn to Pathways because of her passion for supporting vulnerable people and our commitment to providing a welcoming, non-judgemental and empowering space for everyone.

 

In her role, Abi supports people with their housing and support needs, provides essential items such as food, clothing and toiletries, helps people move towards secure accommodation, and connects them with other services and support.

 

What does Abi enjoy most about her role?

“I like meeting people and being able to provide help and support for them in times of need or crisis. I also enjoy helping people to feel safe, comfortable, listened to and understood.”

 

One of Abi’s favourite parts of working at Pathways has been hearing directly from clients about the difference Pathways has made to their lives and seeing how far people have come on their journey.

 

A few fun facts about Abi:

Loves music and films

Interested in LGBTQ+ history and events

Enjoys sewing, beading and jewellery making

Loves true crime and reality TV

Proud cat mum to Rizzo!

 

Manager Melissa says:

“Abi is a valued new addition to our team. She has settled in really well and is already making great progress in developing her knowledge and understanding of the role. Abi approaches her work with a positive attitude and a real willingness to learn. It has been lovely to see her grow and become more comfortable within the role – she is a pleasure to have on the team.”

 

We’re so pleased to have Abi as part of the Pathways team!
