Surrey Association for Visual Impairment. Making a visible difference in Surrey.
Volunteer Coordinator
Last year I took over the role of Volunteer Co-ordinator, previously held by Jason Spinney (Head of Community Services). Prior to that I was the Home Visitor Supervisor from September 2007. This role is very varied, can be demanding, but is also extremely rewarding. Matching a volunteer with a client and seeing them develop a relationship is incredibly worthwhile. I aim to keep the lines of communication open between SAVI, the client and the volunteer so everyone is informed and up to date.
My goal is to get volunteers to help us in more diverse ways, to raise the profile of SAVI volunteers in Surrey and make us really proud of our work, our volunteers and our clients.
I spent 30 years in the civil service, taking early retirement with the aim of changing my career.
I initially took on a six month contract with SAVI as a Supervisor for Communicator Guides, then moved into my current post and hopefully I’m here to stay.
In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, playing golf and serve my community as a magistrate.
