Please tell us a bit about yourself (max 500 words), including;
- Why you are standing for FSA directorship?
Having been a founding director/trustee of the FSA I wish to continue supporting the charity by re-standing.
- Your Forest School experience (and this is not necessarily a pre requisite but you will need to have some basic working knowledge of Forest School)
I first came to FS in 2003 when I undertook my level 3 practitioner training with Gordon Woodall, FSTC. I have run long term FS programmes with a variety of ages and situations, including across a primary school, an option with secondary school and as an alternative education provision with Looked After Children. Since 2007 I have also run Forest School training under the umbrella of FSTC.
- How you personally can benefit the FSA.
I have been involved since the beginning, before the FSA was created so have a good understanding of how it came to be and the history of FS within the UK. I have seen how the FS ethos can help people transform their lives and wish to actively promote this ethos.
- Please declare any special interests or affiliations with other organisations in the Forest School sector including commercial, public sector or voluntary.

Your information will form the basis for the members to vote in advance of the AGM – and your personal commitment to your role as a Director and Trustee of the Forest School Association.
