As Partnerships & Social Value Solutions Director, I’m passionate about making sure we work collaboratively with partners, sharing ideas, best practice and opportunities. I have over 20 years’ experience supporting partnerships and stakeholder management for large organisations. I am also a Director of a small CIC in the South West which is dedicated to supporting people with disabilities and learning differences, so I understand and recognise the day-to-day practicalities of running a smaller partner organisation.
