Trustee

I have been a supporter of CCA for many years – mainly through donations of furniture. I am impressed with the way the volunteers are led and given valuable work experience. I love that furniture is re-homed and sometimes restored.

I had a career in IT, most recently in consultancy and Enterprise Architecture – essentially selecting and integrating systems for use in a wide variety of organisations.

I have also served, as a trustee at St Michael’s in Tilehurst and am currently serving as part of our Stewardship and Outreach committee – supporting our work in the community. As a trustee at CCA, I can use my business and financial experience to help the organisation reach out to those in need with love and service.
