After 9 incredible years at Two Ridings I am embracing a more eclectic approach to work. I am working part time for two charities: Yorkshire Funders and Clean Slate Solutions. I will also continue to be a trustee of Henry Smith Charity and non Exec Director and chair of Better Connect as well as board member of York and North Yorkshire LEP. I am also a Deputy Lieutenant for North Yorshire.As the CEO at Two Ridings, I ensured that all our funds, people, knowledge and partnerships were maximised to help people inNorth & East Yorkshire thrive. As the proud parent of two grown up children and step mum to three others my motivation now as I embark on the latest phase of my life is to ensure that people aren’t left behind because of poverty, disadvantage, bad choices, disability or simple lack of connections to get on and fulfil their potential.
