Trustee

I have supported CCA since moving to Reading over 25 years ago, valuing the loving support CCA provides to those in the area.

Since retiring I have been enjoying the opportunity since 2024 to be actively engaged as a trustee. I bring with me many years’ experience of working as a Programme Director on large-scale programmes primarily in the public and finance sector.

I am an active member of St Catherine’s Tilehurst, currently serving as churchwarden.

My interests extend beyond the time available and include gardening, walking, and playing the ‘cello and piano (not as well as I would like!) as well as spending time with my family.
