Born and brought up in West Berkshire, I have always had a strong sense of community. I spent more than 25 years volunteering at The Corn Exchange Newbury as well as serving as a Governor at several local schools.
I am proud to be a Trustee of New Life Special Care Babies. I enjoy supporting as many fundraising events as I can.
I started as a volunteer at Kennet Radio in the summer of 2024 and I’m working behind the scenes, using some of my event management and comms skills in a new environment.
Since taking early retirement from my main career, I now devote some of my week to a Parish Council (as Parish Clerk), amongst other things.
In my spare time I enjoy anything creative, from photography, needlework and painting, to working with glass and metal.
