As Community Lead I organise events throughout Scotland as well as running, maintaining and expanding our great network of volunteers. I also work part time in another organisation as a Play Ranger, providing outdoor play opportunities. My adopted daughter is now a teenager, my son and kinship cared niece are all grown up and, after 13 foster placements, I’ve recently retired as a foster carer.
Theoretically this means I should have more spare time. When I do, self-care includes time with the family, dad’s taxi, scouting, entertaining our dog and ticking off the Munro’s - they have to be done!
