Lynne Thompson - National Information Events Organiser
After studying Psychology and Counselling, I completely changed direction in my choice of occupation, coming primarily from a financial background. I then worked as a Direct Payments Support Co-ordinator for The Wilf Ward Family Trust for three years supporting and advising people with all types of disabilities, physical, learning, sensory impaired and mental health. I gained a lot of knowledge in this post that compliments my role within the NGVFA enabling me to coordinate information events nationally and ensuring that our services are promoted to everyone that may benefit.

Paul Sheehan - Data System Administration Officer
I returned to Hull a couple of years ago after working in a variety of jobs in recent years. Trying my hand at various temp roles I eventually found the NGVFA advertising for a new member of staff. The job appealed to me as it involved skills I already have with the opportunity to build on them, and learn something completely new.
My role involves a number of different areas, which include; updating and monitoring the website, working on the database, taking calls, and putting together the Oasis Times.
In the future I hope to play a small part in building the NGVFA into a large charity, providing help and support to everyone that needs it.
