With extensive experience in both the private and third sector, I joined CVS Falkirk in 2010, to develop volunteering while overseeing key strategic objectives locally and nationally for the organisation as well as creating projects and initiatives that support the communities of Falkirk. I have recently been appointed CEO at the end of 2020.

Our sector is vibrant, diverse and creative and rose to the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic through hard work with compassion and kindness. The team and I are dedicated to supporting our sector and partners in creating change and making a lasting and valued difference to the communities of Falkirk.
