I've got a few brain cells that got massacred and a few million more that didn't; this is called multi-infarct vascular type dementia, (it means I'm just a little bit screwy and loads of fun to be with). I work as a volunteer citizen advocate. I am chair of a campaigning organisation based in the UK called Oxfordshire Dementia Empowerment Group. I work mainly with individuals and families affected by dementia, long term illnesses, disability, special educational needs or learning difficulties. I have previously been a company director and a charity trustee.

I like singing folk music. I write songs, poems, plays, film scripts and short stories. I ride a motorcycle and side-car combination. I teach co-counselling and advocacy classes. I am a member of a support group called Young Dementia UK.
