Trustee
I became a Trustee with SIL after seeing an advertisement in the Hereford Times. I had just finally retired and was caring for my 92 year old mother with the help of support workers so that she could remain as long as possible in her own home.
Most of my career was spent working at a senior level in Human Resources but after leaving my last HR job I worked as a part time Area Manager for a Housing Association providing sheltered housing for elderly people in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. My experiences above gave me good insight of the issues particularly older people have in obtaining support to live in their homes and together with my business experience I believed I could make a significant contribution to SIL’s Aims and the Board.
