Staff Team

Trevor Quy - Founder, Ambassador and Facilitator

Trevor is passionate about fatherhood and in 1989 he took 3 dads and children on a camping weekend. Called Dads, Lads & Lasses, this idea grew and has supported local fathers and children with an annual camp for more than 35 years.  Trevor is married and has 3 grown up children. 

 

In 2010 Trevor founded MAN&BOY, organising a camp for boys referred from local schools. This was so successful that a year-round programme of events and activities were created, and charitable status was achieved in 2013.  Trevor has led and developed M&B until 2023 and has now become a volunteer and ambassador for the charity.

Jim Clements - Executive Director

Jim joined MAN&BOY in mid-2023, bringing a deep passion for the outdoors, nature, and exploration perfectly complementing the organisation's methodology. With over 20 years of experience in the charity sector, Jim has worked internationally in sustainable, youth-led community development and in the UK with renowned organisations such as Comic Relief and UNICEF. His role is to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the organisation, while also supporting the day-to-day delivery of our programmes.

Oliver McClean - Engagement Co-ordinator
Oliver joined us in October 2025.  His life ambition is to create inclusive and supportive learning environments to allow people to be challenged and grow - so a fantastic fit for MAN&BOY.  He has worked in schools and football clubs around the country in varying capacities, from teaching to leading youth developments.  As our engagement co-ordinator he runs our camps and courses and is the link between MAN&BOY and referrers and families.   

Clare Ellner - Administration Officer

Clare joined in 2024 as our administration officer.  She responds to your queries, helps organise everything from the website to reports and does whatever needs doing at MAN&BOY!  She also works in a local school and understands just how important MAN&BOY's programmes are to young people.  Clare's background is large scale event project management, so she is ready to take on whatever challenges M&B throw at her!

  

 

This experience has been incredible for him and has strengthened our family dynamic. It has helped him feel more secure in his relationships with both of us. Additionally, as separated parents, we had the opportunity to openly discuss concerns at the camp, which improved our communication and understanding. Thank you for making such a difference." "Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
