Since retiring from my career as an English teacher I have been a volunteer for a range of organisations , including St.Giles Hospice, Crown Witness Protection and library services.
After my husband’s dementia diagnosis in 2017 I became his full- time carer. My personal experiences of the impact of dementia upon the whole family , the role of care homes and the need for communal support and understanding fuelled my desire to help those affected by dementia and memory loss.

Having brought Mum to TOC from nearly the beginning and then becoming a volunteer, I am excited by the prospect of becoming a Trustee and serving Dementia Caring. I recognise the value of TOC to Mum but also the support it provides us, as carers. From my nursing background I am aware of how exceptional TOC is in the service it provides"
