Harriet Ballantine-Thomas

Senior Development Manager

Harriet joined Capacity in April 2024. A registered social worker, Harriet brings three years of experience working directly with children, young people, and their families to support them through difficult times in their lives (in Lambeth and Warrington). Prior to social work, Harriet was an Associate Director at Social Finance where she worked with amazing people to develop ambitious programmes of work, often funded in innovative ways.

Harriet completed a MSc in Relationship-Based Social Work in 2023. She was proud to receive the Clare Winnicott Award for an essay based on action-research she undertook alongside her practice, exploring how feelings of safety impact relational practice within the Child Protection context.

Having recently moved to Liverpool from London, Harriet spends her time outside of work getting to know the city and the wider city region (and is always open to recommendations!).
