Cathy Le Feuvre

Cathy Le Feuvre is a British writer, broadcaster, journalist and media consultant who, after years of slogging it out in newsrooms and press offices, has finally done what she always promised she would do one day - become a 'published author'.

Latest book:

'The Gift of Kindness' is published in summer 2022 by Authentic Media, and is co-written with Debbie Duncan, who herself is a prolific author. The book was partly inspired by what appeared to be the rise of kindness during the COVID19 pandemic in

2020 and explores kindness from a spiritual/Christian, scientific, historic, literary and many other aspects, encouraging us all to become kinder in our living, thinking and being. Interweaving biblical and scientific insights with real life stories and pointers for practical life application, Debbie and Cathy explore what kindness is and how it has the power to transform us and others.

*'The Armstrong Girl - A child for sale: the battle against the Victorian sex trade' is the story of an infamous Old Bailey trial in 1885 which resulted from a major campaign to have the age of consent raised in Great Britain from 13 to 16. The trial involved leading figures of the time, including the second-in-command of the global Salvation Army movement, and a leading newspaper editor who had run a series of scandalous articles based on his 'buying' of a girl to prove that sex trafficking was thriving. 'The Armstrong Girl' was published on June 19th 2015 by Lion Hudson publishers and officially launched on July 1st at The Salvation Army's 150th anniversary celebration - the Boundless International Congress at the O2 in London!

Raised in Jersey, England and Kenya, Cathy worked her way up through local newspapers, BBC local radio and regional television in Jersey as reporter/presenter/producer before moving to the UK 20-odd years ago.

From BBC local TV presenter and journalist she moved into production and became a national ITV producer, before finally finding herself working in Media and Communications, specialising in PR for charity and church organisations/agencies. She spent 7 years in the media office of The Salvation Army UK and Ireland, 5 of them as Head of Media.

In 2011 she took a deep breath and returned to freelancing to allow her more space for writing. As a Christian, she undertook much work for faith organisations, but not exclusively so!

In 2014 Cathy returned to Jersey and worked full time as a broadcaster - a presenter/producer for BBC Radio Jersey in the Channel Islands - presenting the Sunday morning Breakfast (faith) Show, the Afternoon Show and latterly a couple of years spent as the Communities Producer.

In 2021 Cathy returned to her freelance 'portfolio' lifestyle to work as a writer/author, broadcaster and PR/communications manager based in Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Look out for Cathy's next book ... coming in 2022.
