Hi, I’m Cath Corkill, the CEO 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.
