Christine is a strong advocate for the voluntary sector having seen first-hand the difference charities can make to people’s lives. Ensuring the voice of those being supported is heard, and used to make positive change, is something she is passionate about.

In her spare time Christine enjoys family cycling, heading to a yoga class, and has recently been going cold water swimming.
