‘Minstead has supported our son for nearly 30 years, and we have seen Minstead grow and thrive through that time. Minstead may have grown but its original core ethos still runs through everything it does. It is because of this that I decided to get involved.’
Gael’s family member, Kevin, has been supported by Minstead Trust since 1994, so she has witnessed first-hand how Minstead supports an individual through the day-to-day as well as the trials and difficulties that life can pose.
She has spent her working life in the public and not-for-profit sectors, mostly in consultancy work around change management in health and community services, and she has been a trustee for a number of charitable organisations over the past 35 years. She is also a professional artist, mostly in watercolour.
