I have many years of experience the Third Sector having worked for Cash for Kids North East Scotland for 13 years, 8 of them as Chairty Manager. Chair of Down’s Syndrome Scotland both nationally and locally and was a member of their Board for 18 years.
I’ve been a Trustee at Really Real Resources since 2024. Although I have a BEng (Hons) in Chemical Engineering, I spent 25 years working in HR for a US-headquartered global life sciences company, which is actually where my passion for diversity and inclusion really took root.
I’m retired from that world now, but far from done. Alongside my work with RRR, I volunteer as an advisor with Citizens Advice, and whenever I get the chance, I love to travel.
What keeps me motivated with RRR is simple: I want young people to grow up seeing inclusion as second nature, not something they have to think twice about. That’s exactly what our Education Packs are designed to do, and it’s a privilege to be part of making that happen.
I’m really excited to be part of Really Real Resources and the positive impact it’s having in schools.
Following a career break from the NHS, I first entered teaching 12 years ago as a physics teacher. I have always been passionate about young people’s wellbeing and moved into a guidance post, where I felt I could use more of my skills. As a guidance teacher, my day-to-day work involves supporting young people’s wellbeing and removing barriers to learning, which involves specifically looking at inclusion and creating opportunities for every learner to feel valued.
It’s been fantastic to be involved from the early stages of the Down’s Syndrome packs and to see how positively pupils engage with the resources. The work RRR is doing brings learning to life and supports meaningful, inclusive conversations in the classroom.
Dave is Graham’s dog, a Parsons Jack Russell. He’s on the board of RRR because as a dog he is non-judgemental and he gives unconditional love. Values which underpin everything we do. He wants to contribute more and is patiently waiting for the first paw friendly keyboard but for now just dictates his responses when you write to us at dave@reallyrealresources.com
