Poesis is a physical community space where people can come together, acknowledging the many planetary challenges we face, consider how we respond and reflect on what it means to be human at this point in time. This includes running a Philosophy club for 8-11 year olds in an Excel Trust School. Away from work Fay is a keen maker, artist and potter.

Fay lives in York and has one child at Scarcroft School, but has had previous children attend both Scarcroft and Millthorpe Schools.
