MiSP Ambassadors

Esther Ghey

Esther Ghey is a campaigner for social media reform and is the founder of Peace & Mind UK, a service dedicated to improving mental health for young people and their
families through the promotion of mindfulness in schools. Esther has since
appeared on Newsnight, taken her campaign to the House of Commons and become an
ambassador for the Mindfulness in Schools Project. She is now at the centre of the
debate around banning phones in schools and driving better online safety for children
and young people. Esther was named the Independent’s Most Influential Woman of
2024, leading a cast of fifty politicians, campaigners, businesswomen, athletes and
celebrities who have all played a prominent part in British life, as well as being listed
among GQ’s Heroes of 2024.

Jane Coates

Jane has over 26 years’ experience as a primary teacher, deputy head and a specialist leader in education supporting other schools in areas of deprivation. She currently teaches Paws b programmes in her own school setting and has recently been appointed as the Mindfulness Coordinator for the One Community Trust in Warrington, to embed mindfulness across all of the eight schools in the trust. She is a passionate advocate for mindfulness being an integral part of a schools’ culture and ethos, for staff, children and families, even more so since January 2025, when she lost her daughter, Lucy. She credits mindfulness as being a tool and a way of being which has helped her to navigate her life journey since losing Lucy.
