Trustee
To say I have had a diverse career, is an understatement, but the common thread throughout it, is that I have taken great pleasure in empowering others and seeing them thrive. Since moving into the VCSFE sector more than 15 years ago, I have enjoyed volunteering, recruiting volunteers and then moving into community development within the health and care environment. I am passionate about the diverse community of Suffolk and continue to champion the idea that there should be ‘no decision about me, without me.’ The importance of working with people at the grassroots is what really drew me to ActivLives, as everything they do, is to empower people to take control of their own lives by making what they do, as accessible as possible.
Seeing the growth of what was The Town and Bridge project, from the days that I started out as a volunteer myself, and to now be a part of supporting what it has now become, is what makes me proud now to serve as a Trustee of this amazing charity.
