I founded and run a registered charity (www.chaffinch.org.uk) working with slum children in Kenya. The work is my passion!

I’m also heavily ‘into’ community action and am a Food Waste Hero with OLIO, a volunteer litter-picker, and have recently got involved with English classes for Ukrainian refugees.

I do some work as a cat sitter (drop-ins).

I have two housecats: Ebony is a senior (black DSH) girl and Bear still a manic (Snowshoe) kitten. Both are very loving cats.
