Louise Cumberland

I’m Louise, and it is my honour to serve on the board of DRCSAS. As a lifelong feminist and survivor of abuse, I have a personal understanding of the importance of these services. In the 1990’s I established refuges in the Northwest of England before moving to become a specialist in Housing Association support services. In 2017, I trained as a life coach and, following the death of my sister and son, I have a focus on transition, grief and loss.

Corinne, my partner and I moved to Devon in August 2019. We have a small holding growing vegetables, keeping chickens, bees and of course dogs and cats. As vegetarians our aim is to live off our land with minimum impact on our beautiful world. 

In addition to my role with DRCSAS I am a NED and vice chair of a local housing association and a Director of the International Coaching Federation UK.
