Giving Back as a Trustee with Oxford Head Injury Services
I became a Trustee as it enables me to add value, make a difference and use my skills where they’re needed most. For me, it’s about enabling others to spend more time at what they’re good at, while I find ways to make processes faster and more efficient.
I think it’s really important that people enjoy their working life as it makes up about half of all our time awake, so I do what I can to support that. I have a personal connection, my Grandad lived with the effects of a stroke for over 2 years which gave me an appreciation of the challenges faced by people living with brain injury and their families.
