Alison is the YoYo Office Administrator. She has a busy time keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes and making sure everything is in place so the day to day events we run can happen. She is now quite used to an environment where there is almost always someone singing, wandering around in a strange costume or popping in to borrow a plywood boat or a screaming monkey!

Alison came to York as a student in 1984 and, apart from a two-year exile in London, has lived here ever since. She worked in the Civil Service, and as an administrator at Leeds University before leaving to bring up two daughters. They are both now in secondary school, and she is pleased to be able to work for YoYo in term time and still be with them after school and in the holidays.
