I have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. I grew up in a Christian
home, went to Girl’s Brigade and then became a lieutenant for 25 years before
moving into work at a Church youth group for a few years. Then I went back to
Girl’s Brigade as an auxiliary helper. I ran a local Church’s creche for over
30 years and assisted for 5 years at my daughter’s mother and toddler group. I have been a volunteer Appropriate Adult

they were being interviewed). I then went on to be a volunteer with Victim

also 2 hours a week sit with an elderly lady with medical problems to enable her
husband to have time out on his own.
