Our Team

Sarah Thorp Director

Amanda Pugh Director
With a passion for advocacy and inclusion for people with additional needs, I’m really excited to be involved with this fantastic project!
We are already seeing a real sense of support from the local community and the breaking down of some barriers.
Watching our participants accomplish new skills, grow in self esteem and come into work smiling makes every day worthwhile.
I live in Kingsteignton with my husband and teen daughter, Poppy. Life is busy but I love it!

Nicola Cafe Team Mentor
After volunteering with us last year at Newton Abbot Carnival, we couldn’t miss the opportunity of asking Nicola to join the cafe team once we opened!

Laura 1-1 Job Coach
Calm and patient, Laura is one of our 1 – 1 job coaches!
Laura has a background supporting people with mental health issues and her warm personality shines through when she is working with our Work Experience team.
Laura is a real asset to the No Limits team with her constant positivity and enthusiasm.
Laura lives with her family and enjoys the quiet life (who can blame her!)

Poppy Cafe Volunteer
Our youngest Work Experience member, Poppy takes her role at No Limits in her stride!
Poppy can be found confidently rustling up milkshakes or demonstrating excellent customer service skills counter side

Sarah 1-1 Job Coach
Sarah comes to us with a background in Learning Support.
Sarah is great at breaking tasks down into manageable steps, giving our team members a real sense of accomplishment at every task mastered!
Getting stuck into any task asked of her, she is a real team player and conscientious worker with a wealth of knowledge.
Sarah loves animals and enjoys river swimming (whatever the weather!)

Zach Supported Internship

Hannah 1-1 Job Coach
Unflappable Hannah has years of experience in support work .
A steady influence for the participants she works with, Hannah is no stranger to problem solving or jumping in at a moments notice to help in a tricky situation!
Hannah is great to have on the No Limits Team, and can usually be found surrounded by milkshake sprinkles, helping a nervous particpant at the till or getting stuck into the washing up! Nothing is off limits.
Hannah is kept busy at home with her husband and young family.

Sue Jervis Accounts Administrator
Susanne has a background in accountancy and without her numeracy skills, eye for detail and keeness for accuracy we would be lost!
Coming to our rescue two days a week, she fine tunes everything ‘office side’ and helps keep things running smoothly.
We top her up with coffees to keep her going!
In her spare time Sue enjoys the country life, living on a farm, with her family, husband ( and quite a few cows!)

Lois Work Experience
Lois is really growing in confidence after just a few sessions working with us and is absolutely brilliant in the kitchen.

Tom Work Experience
Tom is always keen to do any task asked of him and his confidence is really shining through.

Zac has a real ‘can do’ attitude and after completing a Work Experience programme with us (where he gained certification in Level 2 Food Hygiene & Safety, Allergy Awareness and Barista Skills!) we are extremely fortunate that he now volunteers with us one day a week.
Polite, professional and with an intricate knowledge of all there is to know on the Barista side, he uses his inititave and is an excellent team member.
A busy individual, Zach has also volunteered at the Pow Wow cafe in Teignmouth for quite some time so we are really pleased he has also found time for us!

Vanessa Transition Support Coach
Vanessa volunteers her time with us and gets to know our participants over their time at No Limits; supporting them in their search for employment opportunities, training options and/or educational choices – their next step!
Coming from a career in teaching and senior management, Vanessa’s background is in mentoring young people, particularly Post 16; helping them secure employment, training and assisting and advising with Further and Higher Education choices.
Vanessa works on the ethos that “Enpowering young people and recognising their skills and unique talents is key”
