Meet the Team
Karl & Ali
Hi my name is Ali, and this is my husband Karl. We decided to create” Our Journey” support agency in 2022 amidst all the troubles that were happening in the world. I had been working in both the mental health and disability sector are for nearly 20 years for various organisations and sadly felt that there was no true connection between the Participant, their families and the organisation and so we decided to set up our own agency to try and make a difference and bridge that connection.
I grew up being the primary carer of a parent with a disability and so had a life time of understanding and knowledge of what it means to have good support and both Karl and I do support alongside our amazing team.
My goal with Our Journey is to keep our business small and intimate as for us what is important is the relationship with our families that we support.
More than anything, I love engaging with our Participants and discussing with them their goals and dreams.
Hi, I’m Karl. Originally from North Wales in the UK I come from a large family where I learnt from a young age the importance for looking out for others. I have a passion to make a difference to people’s lives. I worked for many years in the mining industry and spent a good portion of that time in a safety and wellbeing capacity as well as in Local Government. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking Participants to explore new experiences.
