Meet The Team
Our team is dedicated to inspiring the successful females of the future by introducing them to successful, talented and creative women of today.
Kim Trotter
Founder & CEO
A fully-qualified teacher and facilitator and an instinctive coach, I have been working with young people and adults for the past 20 years to help them achieve their goals and transform their lives.
I have always rallied against inequality and have been interested in women’s rights and, after designing and piloting a programme to support young mums in the local community to get back into work, education or training, I was compelled to create a business that could support women and girls to achieve their full potential.
My teaching days were spent at Suffolk New College where I was head of Media; my love of that subject (particularly radio), and my time working and presenting on BBC Radio Suffolk, has helped me to design creative, exciting programmes that can engage, enthuse, develop and transform.
Running programmes at our Tower Street office and in the community, means that Future Female Society can help women and girls of all ages, across all social spectrum's and from all backgrounds. The result: a future that is free of inequality.
Stacey Runciman
Project Officer
I lead on community engagement and support the delivery of empowering programmes for women across Ipswich and Suffolk. I’m passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces for women, and I advocate strongly for those affected by domestic abuse.
I’m currently studying for a Master’s degree in Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence at Goldsmiths, University of London, which helps me to deepen my understanding and bring that knowledge into my work every day.
In 2022, I was honoured to be named Volunteer of the Year, and in 2021, the incredible women I work with nominated me as a Co-op Community Champion.
I’m proud to be part of a team that makes a real difference in women’s lives, through everything from wellbeing workshops to coffee mornings and community events.
Angelle Joseph
GWYA Lead Facilitator
I am a facilitator for Girls, Where you At? as well as an artist, community worker, BBC radio presenter and music enthusiast.
My passion lies within supporting young people and encouraging them to find their voice and share their stories whether that’s through music, radio or getting involved in projects.
I have worked to support young people for over 10 years and been working in media for 4. I've presented with BBC Suffolk, Norfolk, Radio 1, 1xtra and 6Music as well as supported organisations across the country to encourage diversity and equality.
Emma Parsons
Social Media, Events & Marketing Volunteer
I have been a supporter of FFS for many years. A couple of years ago I found myself out of work due to redundancies. I felt like I had lost myself after having my son and didn't know what direction my life was taking. After attending the MTM Coffee Mornings I was encouraged to join the MTM Programme in 2024.
I had completely lost my confidence the programme it has really helped me see what other people see in me. I made the decision to go into event planning so it had helped me find my passion and what I wanted to do.
Kim gave me the fantastic opportunity to volunteer for FFS to gain experience. I now run the social media accounts, help organise events and marketing.
