I am delighted to have been appointed as a trustee at Reedham. I aim to use my experience and skills to help make a positive contribution to the local community, to give back and to help vulnerable or disadvantaged children come to the realisation that they can achieve more or become a leader in their own life.  I also enjoy being part of a vibrant, creative and committed group of people who are all very passionate about the aims of the charity.
