Meet our team!

 Hi, I’m Cath Corkill, one of the Director’s of Drop Zone.  I’ve worked here since 2004 and have a vested interested in improving opportunities for young people across our local area.  This includes our Pride event which is now 5 years old and is growing every year and has won a Diverse Cumbria Award.  Our organisation is very unique and we advise and support other local organisations across Furness and sit on Furness Youth Work Partnership, which collectively supports, children, young people and families.   In my spare time I love travelling and walking a lunatic Bassett Hound. 

HI, I'm Sue Johnson, one of the Director's of Drop Zone.  I have been a youth worker for nearly 30 years, firstly in Merseyside and then with Drop Zone Youth Projects since Mar 2005. My work with DZ began as a project worker and I then moved into management. I am proud to say that during that time the organisation has supported 1000s of young people across Furness. Each day brings a new challenge and young people remain central to all we do, this ethos is what continues to motivate me in my work. I love the fact that as Directors we are still able to work directly with young people and we are now seeing the next generation access our services. I have yet to meet a young person with no potential and strive to support equal opportunities for all. I am a football fan and support Everton for my sins but always keep an eye on how Barrow are doing. I enjoy the sunshine which we don't see much of in the North West and have a love of art and travel. 

 Hi, Im Terrileigh and I joined Drop Zone in 2024 as an education/project worker. I am a part of the education team and involved in youth work projects.
In 2014, I graduated from the University of Leeds with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and, prior to starting with Drop Zone, I worked as a freelance English/Psychology tutor for 10 years. I have also previously engaged in youth work for a number of local organisations.
