Our TEAM

Ian Welch

Volunteer Coordinator

I have a passion of working with people especially within communities, working as a Volunteer Development makes me feel incredibly lucky because I get to support and see people develop through training, volunteering and improving well-being. I am a Dad with 2 young Children who keep me busy, I love watching my Son play for a local football team and supporting Man Utd.

Lola Shogbesan

CRM Data Admin and Communications Officer

I joined Langworthy Cornerstone during my master’s degree as a qualified intern from the University, with the aim of developing and implementing a CRM database for the Community Centre. Prior to residing in the UK, I worked for a few years as a Cloud Support Engineer with a Microsoft Partner, gaining valuable experience across various aspects of IT and customer solutions. With a background in IT, data, media communications, and database systems, I am passionate about utilising digital tools to support community transformation. Being part of the Cornerstone has given me the opportunity to apply these skills in meaningful ways. It is a supportive and inclusive environment, and I look forward to contributing further to LCA's digital transformation, growth and positive community impact.

I have been able to support our local community in Salford by being part of the Board for the past couple of years. I was then appointed as Part Time Receptionist. I enjoy hand crafts and other many other artistic activities and support our craft groups at Langworthy Cornerstone in a voluntary capacity. I am passionate about animal rights and my husband would say I love my dogs more than him!

Jane Gilbraith

Receptionist

Hello There, I’m Jane, part-time receptionist. My passion is people and helping them to live their best lives. I’ve worked in the Salford community for many years, signposting people to support services, referring clients to Welfare Rights and Citizen’s Advice Bureau. Empowering people to take control or change things that hold them back. Watching a person grow in confidence and ability is so rewarding and it’s great to play a part in that. Langworthy Cornerstone is full of great activities and support services for people of all ages and backgrounds. There is a great community spirit, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it’s a great place to work as well as visit as a customer.

Anne Holden

“Anne’s Pantry” Food Club, Facility and Gallery Exhibitions Manager

I’m Anne. I originally joined Langworthy Cornerstone as their site caretaker. Being local to the centre, I was keen to support my community in different ways so I have more recently taken on the role of our Food Club Co-ordinator. I really enjoy this role, interacting with the participants and signposting them to other services within the centre. As part of the Food Club role, I also supervise a volunteer who supports me weekly. I manage the local exhibitions and gallery space within the LCA building
