About us
The Rora Project UK is an inspiring not-for-profit community group proudly rooted in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Our mission is to empower our community — specifically parent carers — with essential resources and unwavering support on their remarkable journey.
We are committed to enhancing the community support already in place, working hand in hand rather than replacing it. We wholeheartedly embrace inclusion and diversity, recognising the challenges that come with being a parent carer.
We provide a nurturing environment at our inclusive community garden, TRPCG (funded by Co-op UK 2025/26 and the Harry Skells Trust 2026), where you can truly be yourself while enjoying our themed, affordable half-term workshops as well as regular craft clubs.
Meet the team
Our volunteers are the heart of The Rora Project UK. Each one brings compassion, lived experience and a genuine desire to support parent carers.
Chantelle
Founder / Trustee
A SEN mum of four and neurodivergent herself, diagnosed with a disability (degenerative disc disease) in 2023. Chantelle created The Rora Project from personal understanding of the emotional challenges parent carers face, and raises awareness of caring while living with a debilitating condition.
Caroline
Lead Family Support Worker / Trustee
Joined in June 2025. Caroline is fully qualified to support families with a wide range of needs — practical resources, signposting to helpful services, or emotional support — making sure families get the right help at the right time.
Zuzana
Financial Lead / Accountant
A truly inspiring woman and mum who works tirelessly behind the scenes. You may not always see her, but she keeps The Rora Project running smoothly and sustainably.
Sue
Workshop Coordinator & Forest School Facilitator
New for 2026. Sue has over 20 years' experience in mainstream schools, is a SEND parent herself and is level 3 forest school qualified. She joins us at TRPCG with exciting workshops for little explorers.

Mabel
Mini dachshund therapy dog in training
Our smallest (but mightiest) team member. Mabel is a mini dachshund currently training as a therapy dog, learning to bring calm, comfort and plenty of cuddles to families visiting TRPCG.
Many of our volunteers have their own lived experience of caring for children with additional needs, while others are deeply committed to making a difference in their community. Together we create a community of connection, empathy and strength — making sure every parent carer knows they matter.
