I have been involved with CHAT since 2003 when I became a volunteer shop assistant in the first CHAT shop. I was a practising Social Worker for 39 years and following my retirement in 2017 I was able to increase my voluntary commitment to the organisation. I was privileged to be appointed as a Trustee in August 2021. Originally from Manchester, I have lived in Torpoint for 29 years. I am proud to be a part of CHAT and I am incredibly proud of the way that it has continued to support the vulnerable throughout the Covid Pandemic.
