Jane Killworth -CEO

I have been a local resident of Victoria Park since 2002 and I have been an active member of Victoria Park School Community. I have been able to stay at home whilst my children were young and have used my time to volunteer for a local grassroots football club as the Chairman. I have also been a Guide leader in Sale for 25 years. You’ll find me with a cup of tea in my hand and a cheery smile ready to welcome you and offer a listening ear.

Sarah Gregory – Operations Manager

I moved to Manchester in 2011 and the community events we saw running in the park were a big part of the decision to choose Stretford as our new home. I started volunteering in the cafe and at events before using my love of horticulture and wildlife to run gardening groups and Nature Explorer sessions. I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors, my first career was as a field archaeologist working in some of the wettest and muddiest locations across the UK. This was followed by 10 years working at the National Foundation for Educational Research. I’m currently a part time Information Consultant for a children’s librarians’ organisation (ASCEL) and also volunteer at a local school library. You’ll see me out and about with gardening groups helping to make Victoria Park the very best it can be. Otherwise I’ll be inside planning new projects and updating our social media.

Kat Hatton – Cleaning Manager

I have been a part of the Stretford Community/Family forever, it seems.  I frequented the park as a young girl and now my children happily do too. I spent many years in Business Administration and have now taken up my role as Cleaning Manager within FOVP
