Carmel has been ministering to the young people of Coventry for nearly 20 years, welcoming up to 45 young people a week. Beyond the weekly volunteering, she leads young people to Lourdes and World Youth Day. Social Action is also close to her heart: She takes aid young adults to the refugee camp in Calais. She organises trips to the food bank and homeless shelter, and delivers Christmas cards with young people to the elderly and sick in the parish. Carmel is there for her young people. She supported young people through depression, attempted suicide, and criminal behaviour. She has accompanied them to police stations when they make mistakes and she’s at their school play when they have a starring role.
