Wendy has a true passion for bringing creativity and singing to the local community and families. From a young age she has been involved in theatre and performing. She has been a proud member for several years of the Port Sunlight Players and in her earlier years Thornton Players performing in lead roles such as Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz. Wendy believes in community spirit and helping local people achieve their goals and this is very apparent in her work.
