Cilla

Trustee

Whilst practice manager for Goodwick Surgery I was involved with Enid Gleisner, Mike Woakes and Tony Care in the setting up of a young people’s project in Fishguard and Goodwick. Initially, the project offered sexual health advice once a week in the basement of the surgery. As the project developed and moved to Unity Hall and then to its present home in the Popworks, I joined the Board of Trustees and then took on the role of Treasurer. I have grown-up grandchildren and great-grandchildren ranging in age from twenty-three to a few months so feel I have some insight into the problems and anxieties which young people today are experiencing.
