I retired from nursing in 2017 having worked in the operating theatre at Christie Hospital, Manchester and later in general practice for 25 years. My relationship with Giving World started with Konnect9 and has continued through the development of Giving World and Patient Care Packs. I was asked to help as clinical advisor for the Patient Care Packs and invited to join the Board in 2012. My charity experience started by collecting and shipping unwanted NHS medical equipment to clinics in Gambia in 2008. This prompted me to register with Giving World and try and help small local charities in the UK. Since relocating to Anglesey in 2019 I am now involved with local fundraising for Marie Curie. My own projects reflect the philosophy of Giving World of zero waste and I make handicrafts from recycled fabrics to sell to raise funds for local charities. If it can be reused or repurposed then it shouldn’t be going to landfill.

Being in the fortunate position of a marketing academic, previously at the University of Leicester and now The Open University, I’ve always sought to support and learn from the practices of public, charity and cause-focused organisations. For over a decade I’ve worked closely with Giving World and Personal Care Packs through a series of student projects, programme evaluations and supporting strategy development. It is one of the real pleasures of my job that I can support and introduce others to the work of the charity. Especially one which is innovative in outlook and passionate in their commitment to supporting their beneficiaries.
