I’ve recently joined to get more involved with my local community. EBS provides crucial services to the local community, thus it is a pleasure to be a part of running the charity. Outside of EBS, I have just graduated from university and currently working in PR.”

“Hello, I am very pleased to have been welcomed to EBS as a Trustee in 2024 and have taken on Trustee Financial Lead responsibility.
I am a retired HR Professional, and over my career worked in the Finance, Education and Charity sectors. I lived abroad for several years in both France and Portugal. I like to spend my free time with family and I visit the gym regularly hoping to keep fit so that I can keep up with my grandchildren! I also have a keen interest in genealogy and walking with friends.
Supporting the wellbeing of our local community is so important and it is a privilege to be part of the team running of this valuable service.”

I was keen to put my experience and knowledge to beneficial use and to give something back to the community by volunteering. After research I found EBS and was interested to know further what the charity offered the local community. I was impressed by the counselling service provided to adults who needed support but who may not access prompt support through the normal channels or were unable to pay for private support.
I was therefore pleased to join the charity as a trustee and have learnt to understand and appreciate more fully what the charity offers to local people by way of counselling. I have recently taken up the role of Chair of Trustees and during my tenure I am keen to build on the excellent work that has been achieved over the past 30 years and to ensure the continued quality of counselling going forward.
The trustees significant challenge going forward is to build the level of funding that will allow the charity to continue successfully into the future. Support in this endeavour would be very much appreciated, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you think you can and would like to help!”

My EBS Trustee role allows me to blend my strategic expertise with counselling knowledge. I am particularly committed to supporting the local community, knowing firsthand the profound difference accessible mental health services can make.
Outside of work, I live on a smallholding where I share my life with my husband and daughter and a lively assortment of animals, including many chickens, pigs, sheep, and a couple of dogs. This setting offers a grounding balance to my professional life and deepens my appreciation for the therapeutic power of nature.
My journey reflects a deep-seated belief: everyone deserves access to compassionate support and the opportunity to flourish, regardless of their circumstances.”

I have spent the past 25+ years working in the HR environment for global sales and manufacturing businesses based out of Amsterdam and travelling globally. More recently and prior to retiring from paid employment I worked on the integration of a niche consultancy that had been acquired by a global business, at which point it was time for me to concentrate on what makes me ‘happy’.
I am delighted to have been appointed to the Trustee board and look forward to the challenges we have ahead of us in building on the excellent reputation of the charity and look for ways to fund and expand the service to ensure more people are able to benefit from those services.”
