Mary Chambers
CHIPS co-ordinator Guildford
A note from the Co-ordinator of Guildford
Hi everyone, My name is Mary Chambers and I am the CHIPS co-ordinator. I joined CHIPS when I was 18 as a playworker and after 7 years I took the reins as the co-ordinator. When I am not working on CHIPS I work at Boxgrove Primary School as a teaching assistant and a Forest School Leader. I have worked with children in a range of settings and ages since I was 18 and I hold a BA in Early Years Studies and Education. I thoroughly enjoy working for CHIPS as the co-ordinator as it keeps me busy and no moment is ever the same!

A note from the Co-ordinator of Ash
Hello, my name is Christina Drain and I am the CHIPS co-ordinator for Ash. I joined the CHIPS team 7 years ago as a playworker at the Guildford sites, and I am trilled to be a part of the expansion of the charity into the Ash area. When I’m not at CHIPS, I work at Boxgrove Primary School as the deputy manager for their after school club. I currently hold a NVQ3 in Playwork, and have a total of 10 years of experience working with children aged 0-16 in a range of different childcare settings, both in this country and abroad.
