Staff

Passionate about volunteering and the difference it can make, Gemma began her career as a biochemist, eventually making a career change into community development as a result of her extensive volunteering experience.

Since then, she has worked in youth work, international development, and with health charities, joining the team managing the Scottish Government’s Promoting Equality and Cohesion fund in 2018.

Her personal and professional goal is to be part of change towards an inclusive and equal society, and she finds it extremely rewarding to be able to support organisations doing essential work in this area.

Outside of work, Gemma continues to be an active volunteer mostly with local organisations and loves exploring new outdoor places with her family. She also loves singing, playing guitar, and making things, and has spent lots of time during lockdown doing DIY, crocheting, and sewing.
