Further information
I originally started the company Make A Difference At Sandy’s in 2005, which provided a wide range of therapeutic services to the public and now currently provides support to the new organisation (Make A Difference At Sandies) in the form of professional services which include protection of children and vulnerable adults. My background is in finance and I pride myself on my people management skills. I am a qualified tutor and registered counsellor with BACP. As one of the directors of Make A Difference At Sandies, I am able to offer my expertise in Management, clinical supervision, and training. As a trustee and working director of the new organisation since registration in July 2012, I have been busy putting relevant documentation and information together for the charity commission, designing community projects and making applications for funding.
