Originally from Lancashire Irene moved to Scotland in the 80’s. Irene has worked within the voluntary sector in varying roles for over 35 years. She has a huge wealth of knowledge of fund management and grant making processes and have worked across various funding programmes (Volunteering, Community Funds, Equalities, Community Safety, Violence Against Women and Girls) as well as on the corporate side.

When not working you will find Irene reading, attending Soul Music events (although not at the present time) and enjoying time with family and friends.
