Ellie

If you've got a problem, a dilemma, a life crisis, or simply need to unpack something that happened three years ago, chances are you've already spoken to Ellie about it.

Widely recognised as everyone's best friend, Ellie has somehow become the unofficial therapist of every group she's ever been part of. Whether you need advice, reassurance, a listening ear or a gentle reality check, she's always on hand and permanently operating in full therapist mode. When she's not solving everyone else's problems, Ellie can usually be found spending time with her beloved cats or working on her latest crochet project. Armed with a crochet hook and endless patience, she's capable of turning a ball of wool into just about anything while simultaneously counselling half the people she knows.

Kind, caring and endlessly supportive, Ellie has a remarkable ability to make people feel heard, valued and understood. She's the friend everyone needs and the reason group chats stay functional.

George Ward

Meet George Ward

If there were ever a pub quiz category for random facts, obscure movie trivia, or Doctor Who episodes from 1974, George would be your man.

A self-confessed Doctor Who superfan, George can happily discuss Time Lords, Daleks and sonic screwdrivers for far longer than most people would consider reasonable. When he's not travelling through time and space (in his imagination), he's usually watching horror films, talking about horror films, or recommending horror films that nobody else has heard of. George possesses an impressive amount of knowledge on just about everything, although admittedly much of it is completely useless in everyday life. Need to know the release date of a forgotten horror film? The name of a one-episode Doctor Who character? George has got you covered. Friendly, knowledgeable and always ready with a fact nobody asked for, George brings plenty of enthusiasm and entertainment to the team.

Megan Ward

If you've ever met Megan, you'll know two things almost immediately: she's got a heart of gold, and she's convinced she's the funniest person in the room. To be fair, she's usually right. When she's not busy helping everyone else, organising three things at once, or coming up with another idea that somehow becomes a project, you'll find her with her nose in a book, working on a craft project, or battling her way through an Xbox game. Her ability to switch between charity organiser, creative mastermind, gamer and problem-solver at a moment's notice is genuinely impressive. Megan is the type of person who will always go out of her way to help others, often putting everyone else's needs before her own. Whether she's supporting families, planning events, or making sure everyone feels included, her kindness and determination are at the heart of everything she does. She's also never knowingly passed up the opportunity to tell a joke, share a story, or remind everyone how funny she is.

Ryan Brammer

Meet Ryan "Bram" (aka Heed)

Born and bred in Stoke-on-Trent, Ryan—better known as Bram, and affectionately known by many as Heed—is proof that you don't have to say much to be the funniest person in the room.

With a razor-sharp wit and a dry sense of humour that often takes a few seconds to land, Bram has mastered the art of delivering the perfect one-liner with a completely straight face. If you're not sure whether he's joking, chances are he is. When he's not making people laugh, you'll find him listening to metal music, getting lost in an audiobook, or taking any opportunity to go for a drive. He's a firm believer that most of life's problems can be improved with good music, a long road, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Known for his laid-back nature, quick comebacks and appreciation of the finer things in life (especially women), Bram brings plenty of personality wherever he goes.

Once described as the better half of any couple,
