As Secretary of Felbeck Trust, I am excited by the prospect of growing conservation projects that will bring people together to pool their skills for the benefit of individuals, the community and the natural environment.

My involvement with charities dates back to 2002 when I worked as a Volunteer Deputy Expedition Leader for Raleigh International in Namibia and Borneo.

Since then, I have worked mostly with charities for disadvantaged, vulnerable or socially isolated people. I have also worked with public and private sector commercial contracts, writing specifications and bids for funding or delivery of operational services.

I have an interest in textile arts & crafts and am a member of the Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.
