Laura Jones, Place Programme Manager

As the Place Programme Manager, Laura is passionate about collaborating with local communities to support them to move more.

Having previously worked in the creative arts, Laura has strong local connections in Hampshire. Being outdoors and physically active with her sporty children is really important to her. She loves long woodland stomps, regular swims and visiting the theatre as much as she can.
