Spotlight on an Allsorts Trustee Mike and Stephanie Baker Our names are Mike and Stephanie Baker. We have 3 children and live in Fairford. Our son has Down’s Syndrome and underwent a renal transplant at the age of 2 ½. We discovered Allsorts when we started looking around for social activities. We both felt it was really important for our son to have the same opportunities to socialise as his sisters. Our son enjoyed going along to Sound-it Out music sessions and the 6-8 kids club. He is currently enjoying the sports sessions at Cirencester Leisure Centre. We chose to become joint trustees of Allsorts following a request for more parents/carers to get involved. By sharing this role we believe we can bring our different areas of interest and expertise to the meetings. Stephanie is a former Social Worker with particular interest in how Allsorts can make sessions accessible to all and take on board the views and suggestions of its members. Mike is a retired Engineer and has experience of finance and governance, as well as being a School Governor. We are very much looking forward to making a positive contribution to Allsorts. Sharon Marson I’ve always been involved in my local community – volunteering my time helping children learn and develop via involvement in local sports clubs, school PTA and as a Governor. I am honoured to be an Allsorts Trustee – a charity which works with local families to make a real difference to their everyday lives and their children. As a parent to three boys, it’s important that our children get the best opportunities in life to be the best they can – Allsorts fits the bill perfectly! Being a trustee is really interesting and makes a huge difference to a small charity like Allsorts. If you’d like to learn more or apply to be a trustee, please contact Georgia at georgia.boon@allsortsglos.org.uk 5
