It was the sudden and unexpected loss of my lovely mother this year, which finally saw me hang up my social work shoes to focus on other work and interests. These life changes have brought me to Darlington Town Mission, where I feel both excited and privileged to be in a position to support some of the older residents of Darlington.

 

Overall wellness and being active have always been important to me. Horse riding was a huge part of my childhood and the love of horses remains – I’m never more at home than in a muddy field, or out walking with my two dogs!  I have a genuine interest in people, so naturally, enjoy – listening, talking, spending time with family and friends, as well as meeting new people.
