I retired in 2020 after 33 years teaching in secondary schools, and many more than that performing as a violinist. I have been giving talks to local groups for well over 16 years now to both entertain, inspire and inform. I speak on a variety of topics that I am passionate about. These include music, world poverty, ethical living, food for the future, money management and lIfe coaching. It is an ever growing list! I am just as happy leading a workshop as giving a talk - just ask if this is what you would prefer. I have asked for a fee but the whole amount will be donated to charity - I do not take any expenses for myself. I am also a Tearfund speaker and can fill your 'sermon slot' in your church service if requested.
