Having grown up in Loughborough, Mina feels incredibly proud to support a charity making such a positive difference in her local community. She is passionate about helping young people feel seen, supported and confident in their potential, and was drawn to Love4Life (Twenty Twenty)'s empowering approach to supporting young women. As Vice Chair, Mina is excited to bring her experience in marketing, partnerships, strategy and community engagement to the Board, while being a friendly and enthusiastic ambassador for the charity and the young people it supports.

Holly Nock

Holly has worked in the property lettings sector for the past 15 years and is currently an area manager for one of the UK's largest letting agencies. Through managing multiple teams in a fast-paced environment, Holly has established herself as a strong leader and is skilled in strategic management. She is passionate about coaching those around her to be the best that they can be and to achieve their goals.

Holly's history of volunteering in youth groups has made her aware of the increasing pressures young people face. She is enthusiastic about the great work that Love4Life (Twenty Twenty) does to support young people and is thrilled to come on board as a trustee. She hopes that her experience in building relationships, operational management and her driven, can-do attitude will be of benefit to the charity. 

Outside of her work, Holly enjoys being in nature with her family and is a novice twitcher.

Sima Bodalikar

Sima has been in the communications field for more than 15 years, working from the charity sector to retail. Most recently, she feels privileged to work in international development-fighting poverty and helping make our world a more just place for everyone. She loves sports, audiobooks and cooking different cuisines. 

Sima is passionate about Love4Life (Twenty Twenty)'s mission-empowering young people to make positive choices. She hopes to give strategic guidance on marketing and communication concepts to amplify the organisation's key messages and support fundraising. 

Amanda Cwynar

Amanda has spent the last 16 years working in a large mainstream secondary school, where she now serves as the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead. Amanda is deeply committed to supporting young people and creating environments where they feel safe, valued, and understood.

Amanda has worked with the Love4Life (Twenty Twenty) team in a professional capacity for a number of years and has seen first hand the positive difference the Charity's support makes in the lives of young people. As a trustee of Love4Life (Twenty Twenty) Amanda is excited to bring her experience of working with young people, compassion and dedication to a charity she truly cares about. 

Outside of work, Amanda enjoys spending time with family and friends and enjoys relaxing through her crafting hobbies.  

Dr Ben Ellis

Ben is a lecturer in Criminology at the University of Leicester. Ben studied and worked in criminology and the criminal justice system for over 20 years. He has a passionate dislike of injustice and unfairness. He has worked in various volunteer roles and continues to work towards increasing underrepresented groups in academia and decreasing overrepresented groups in the criminal justice system.

His academic work centres on two distinct but related areas-the fear of crime/violence and large institutional policy and practice on racial bias/disproportionality.

In his spare time, he is entirely subservient to his dog, Fabio. When allowed, he goes to the cinema and still tries to run around the athletics track.

Rhonda Olsen

As a Non-Executive Director, coach, and trainer, Rhonda is passionate about helping people reach their full potential, both personally and professionally. Her work is centred on empowering individuals and organisations to grow with purpose, clarity, and confidence. She became a trustee for Love4Life (Twenty Twenty) because its mission deeply resonates with her own values and purpose. The Charity’s mission to support and inspire young people reflects her own belief in the power of guidance, opportunity and positive role models to transform lives. She has always believed that every young person deserves the opportunity to feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Outside of work, Rhonda enjoys exploring the outdoors, meeting new people, and taking on new challenges that stretch her comfort zone whether that’s hiking a new trail or learning a new skill. She's equally happy sharing ideas over a good coffee as she is facilitating a workshop or mentoring leaders.

Karen Lamb

Karen works in an all-through school in the city.  She thoroughly enjoys the job she does as she has the pleasure of spending time with young people who ‘say it how it is’. She thrives on honesty and straight talking. She also loves a challenge. As a trustee, she brings her lived experiences from childhood, teaching and parenting, both birth and foster children to Love4Life (Twenty Twenty). It has always been a passion of hers to be inclusive, stand up for injustice and advocate for others so they can feel validated and find their voice.

When she is not at work, she loves spending time with her family and friends. She enjoys camping and festival going. Sunday mornings you’ll find her open water swimming come rain, shine, snow or frost! She just loves being outside in the fresh air and preferably near water.
