About Me

Katy Batten BA Hons

CEO & Founder of The Missing Piece

I know what it is to walk through darkness—and what it takes to step into the light. As a survivor of domestic violence, I made it my mission to help others find their voice and their footing, too. I’ve guided authors to bestseller status, helped build and lead a vital food bank and community centre serving 1,900 people each month, and overseen a transformative growth: lifting our organisation’s budget from £2,000 to more than £200,000 in just three years, expanding support where it’s needed most. This work is woven from my own ongoing journey of recovery—healing from trauma, addiction, and PTSD—while walking beside my husband as he recovers from bladder cancer. These challenges have not defined me; they have deepened my compassion and strengthened my resolve. My family and the people I serve are the heartbeat of everything I do. This is our story: of resilience, care, and showing up—for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community.
