Having previously worked in Social Care with people of all ages and abilities, I have empathy for those who require some assistance. With the birth of my first child, I decided to take a career break as I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could. I’m still recovering from a brain injury I had twenty years ago whilst I was teaching English in Japan. Since then, I have done a lot of academic study in the creative zone and worked in this area. Having worked in film production I know how drama works, be it a play or a film. I want to use my skills and knowledge in the creative arena where everyone can express themselves in a supportive environment and my volunteering role in the drama group allows me to do this.

Volunteering with Cosgrove has given me so many new and exciting experiences, meeting and interacting with the most lovely and amazing people. It is great to be involved in improving and enhancing the lives of others. It’s very rewarding and great fun, I would recommend it to anyone.
