Trustee​

Having worked for BT as a Senior Manager for 41
years, then running my own wine business for 4 years I decided to retire.

Thinking about what to do next and having lived in Cottam for 26 years I decided to give back to the community, so I joined the trustees at the centre. There I can use my DIY skills to help upkeep and maintain the centre. To also help where I can on anything that is needed to be done.

Anne Clucas
