I have chosen this year  to cycle with 54321 Cymru who are a cycling group that enjoy cycling and raise money for charity at the same time - charity choice is left with the cyclist taking part which allows more freedom and scope to cover many amazing charities.  Match  funding through two  sponsors up to £500  will also be added to total raised.

Professionally I am   part of  the Dental  team within Shropshire Community NHS Trust.   Once a week we  work on  Alice ward   as part of a multidisciplinary team   to deliver local services for children who require Dental treatment that can not be accessed/provided elsewhere. This service is an amazing success allowing children to be treated locally and waiting times have been greatly reduced.

 Alice ward  is an amazing environment and the staff that work within make it so   - children  and their families  travel from all over the country to the renowned Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Hospital for many other services that the ward provides.  

A Garden for Alice has been created specifically for young people with their interests and needs in mind. Who better to relate, than a young landscape designer Olivia Copley, who is passionate about developing an outdoor space for all on Alice Ward. Olivia is collaborating with Alice Ward staff, patients and families on how to create the best garden for everyone. Accessibility, safety, freedom of space and style, colours and themes are all important factors when designing a garden for young people. Focus groups have been a great way to understand the needs of patients, family members and staff and has helped Olivia to tailor the design to these ideas.

Personally  I am passionate about health, exercise, my husband and our children  -  I embrace  the benefits of getting outside , being humble in society  and appreciative of our world and  environment
