I am the Chief Executive Officer of Paths for All, Scotland’s’ national walking charity. We are the champions of everyday walking for a happier, healthier and greener Scotland. We promote a walking society, with safe attractive spaces for walking and wheeling. Our vision is for Scotland to become a walking nation where everyone has the opportunity to be active every day.I’ve enjoyed a successful 30-year career within the public sector having led a number of teams including NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s physical activity team. I was responsible for developing and implementing Glasgow’s physical activity strategy ‘Let’s Make Glasgow More Active’ and leading Forestry Commission Scotland’s ‘Woods for Health’ strategy and action plan to improve people’s health and well-being through outdoor recreation and nature connection.I have extensive experience of leading and developing national interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and I have a passion to reconnect people with the outdoors and natural environments.
