Lorna MacDonald

The Project Manager oversees the day to day activities within the centre and provides support to the Board of Directors in implementing longer term plans for centre. This involves managing and supporting staff to ensure that the centre reaches out to people who care for others in order to provide useful, high quality support for them. It also involves finding ways to encourage Carers to speak out about their experiences in order that they help shape and improve support for Carers throughout the area. The Project Manager represents the interests of the Centre in various forums and groups.

Our Outreach Worker also has a key role in undertaking home visits to Carers who are unable to leave their own home.
