Meet the Team!

With first-hand experience of hardship, poverty, and navigating benefits, we bring a unique perspective that fosters understanding and compassion. We prioritize a judgment-free environment, ensuring that everyone feels supported and valued in our community.

Amy Perridge
I am 29, I live in Essex and work for a local charity.
I have 3 children, one with SEN disabilities and identical twins, all are boys.
I have lived experience with being in poverty as a child and as a single parent to my firstborn on Universal Credit. I have ADHD, being diagnosed as an Adult and suffer with Mental Health conditions - I am a Mental Health First Aider as well as J9 Trained.
​
I formed Pass It On! Kids UK CIC in 2019, when I was isolated at home with my eldest, living in a domestic violence relationship, before the heights of COVID began. I wanted to create a safe place for people to come together and be that village for one another - providing vital and essential support, whilst helping those that are finding parenthood tough financially, emotionally and mentally - to which it was quickly and rapidly forming into that community. We are now where we are and I am thankful for all the support of members and the team, past, present and future for continuing this mission together.

I'm 32, I live in Essex, with 2 children, one with SEN disabilities and I am currently a student at a University, I am taking my Masters in Psychology. I have lived experience of being a student whilst being a mother, how hard it can be to juggle taking a further step for a career pathway, being a full-time mother and whilst also being on Universal Credit.
I started my further education journey in my late 20's to chase a dream after having my children young.
I have disabilities myself, I have lived experience with mental health, physical health, living in hardship and in difficult situations with home life. But, it has made me the strong person I am today and is one of m biggest drives into furthering my career with studying.
