What am I responsible for?

I oversee the involvement of disabled people and people with mental health conditions in our work. This includes the ongoing development of Barnwood Circle, our membership scheme, and the involvement of members in our project work. The team also engage with disability and mental health organisations to inform our work and share what we do.

What brings me here?

Having worked in participation with a local authority for 15 years, which was focused on developing and improving social care services, I decided it was time for a change and a new challenge. This role is exactly what I was looking for.

What do I enjoy spending time doing for my own wellbeing?

I enjoy training my black Labrador, Fred, and taking him for walks in the countryside. I grow my own vegetables and am always amazed at how a tiny seed becomes part of a tasty meal.
