Since retiring I have continued my commitment a charity that is close to my heart; Barnardo's.

As a Community Ambassador I provide a fascinating insight into Barnardo’s through an interactive presentation/talk (whether virtual via “Zoom” or face to face), entitled “Barnardo’s a Personal Insight”, covering our history, Dr Barnardo’s legacy, our current projects and fundraising.

This insight comes through, working for the charity for 13 years in a fundrasing capacity, and during a 8 year period becoming foster carers with my partner giving me a unique understanding the charity’s work.

I have presented to audiences (6 to 750 participants) across Fundraising Dinners and Events; Rotary clubs (Including Rotary Conferences), WI, Townswomen Guild, U3A, various church societies, local community organisations and pitching to SME’s businesses.

Please feel free to contact me below for more information about speaking and fundraising opportunities. (I am available during the day and in the evening subject to any prior commitments).
