  • Co-Founder & Co-Director

    Wendy is passionate about making a difference for people and seeing how they benefit from the opportunities Nudge are creating. She loves spending time on the street connecting, listening and making fun things happen.

    She lives in Stonehouse with her family and has volunteered in the community for over 10 years before starting Nudge to do something about the empty buildings.

    Her background in social housing and the voluntary sector has been key to creating Nudge making homes and spaces where small organisations can thrive.

  • Co-Founder & Co-Director

    Hannah is passionate about making lasting change on the street and disrupting systems that hold communities back. She loves making things and bringing colour to the street.

    Hannah lives in Stonehouse with her family and has volunteered in the community for over 10 years.

    She previously worked for Plymouth City Council Planning Department. Her background in community engagement and regeneration has helped Nudge to breathe life and hope into a street that has missed out for too long.

  • Finance Manager

    Yvonne looks after all things finance and keeps us running smoothly with fabulous spreadsheets, project planning support and getting systems and processes in place to support Nudge as it grows.

    She brings her background in FTSE100 financial management and experience of supporting small businesses to make sure Nudge is managing our money and resources in ways that create best value for our community.

  • Operations & Communications Coordinator

    Nadine makes The Plot a special place where lots of different communities and organisations can grow and connect. She supports the many people who walk through our doors, whether they’re tenants, visitors or staff. Her background in design, admin and hospitality makes sure that Nudge is caring about all the big and little things that make a community work.

    Nadine has a great eye and makes gorgeous merchandise for our shop. She looks after our website, takes care of our in-house design, writes our newsletter, always making sure our voice and brand are on point.

    Currently, Nadine is supporting the Plot tenants in their efforts to function as a collective of entrepreneurs who collaborate, support each other and work together to make The Plot the best it can be!

  • Bookings & Events Coordinator

    With a host of experience in the entertainment industry, Bec joined Nudge in October 2023 to help bring bigger, better and more events to the community!

    She’s currently collaborating with Co-Director Wendy to plan a second Awakening. When she’s not liaising with artists and promoters, she looks after the local residents who hire our buildings to put on their own events.

  • Volunteer Coordinator & Connector

    Since October 2023, Abi has spent her time with Nudge getting to know our lovely volunteers, finding them volunteering, networking and training opportunities, both with Nudge as well as other local organisations.

    Catch Abi at The Plot on Fridays from 2pm offering her weekly crafting sessions!

  • Front of House Assistant

    Dom is a local young person and student at City College. He joined Team Nudge in the summer of 2022 and continues on Thursdays and Saturdays during term time.

    Dom has a great rapport with the tenants at The Plot, welcomes our visitors and supports Lou in organising the monthly Stonehouse Social. When he's not at college or at work, Dom loves to cycle and tinker on his bike.

  • Saturday Activity Maker

    You can find Lou bringing arts and crafts to The Plot every first and second Saturday of the month!

    On the first Saturday of every month, Lou runs the Stonehouse Social, bringing local residents together to get creative and learn about topical themes.

  • Urban Farmer

    Ross has lots of experience working in the mushroom-growing industry, and is now working on setting up an urban farm at C103 called Union Organics. Keep an eye on our newsletter and socials for updates!

  • Housekeeper

    Fiona makes sure all Nudge spaces are kept spick and span, and often volunteers at The Plot to help look after our visitors. She's recently fallen in love with sewing and is a grandma of one. Fiona enjoys supporting and working with young people, volunteering and hairdressing.

  • Creative & Brand

    Whenever we need a creative touch, Dave at 51 Studio is our guy! You’ll find him at The Plot one day a week, working with our team to develop our visual identity.
