Barne Barton
“I am the Chair of NYCT. I have been on the board since the Trust was formed and I represent Barne Barton. I have lived in the catchment area of NYCT all my life and I am very active within the local community. I sit on the Boards of several organisations in the area. These vary from maternity through to adults and that enables me to have a broad view and opinion of what is happening in our area. I have organised and run many large community events as well as helping organise smaller craft fayres and events. I have 5 children which keeps me active as well in the community.”
Pat Patel
Barne Barton
“For the last 12 years I have been very much involved in the Barne Barton community, I have built a shop and negotiated a profit share from its occupiers the Co-operative which are used to benefit the community as well as creating a successful and self sustaining community facility and social enterprise. Tamar View Community Centre is one of a few organisations which does not seek revenue funding and actually invests in its community. I have established a church, a parent & toddler group, a work club and until recently been involved in the provision of a Money Advice service on the estate. I believe that my skills are useful to the trust and my local knowledge of the communities needs is excellent.”
Sharon Hill
St Budeaux
“I have lived in St Budeaux for the last 14 years. I have a good background of working with people and have helped organise and run a lot of community events; I currently work in a nursery. I have 3 children who all attend varies groups and clubs and this keeps me active with the community and their needs.”
Caitlin Gillard
