Mandy Procter<br />

CEO, Leeway<br />

Hi Mandy, thank you so much for<br />

agreeing to this interview. I am<br />

thrilled to be interviewing you.<br />

Leeway is a fantastic local charity<br />

and it was a real pleasure to talk<br />

at your recent conference in July.<br />

So, just starting off gently:<br />

Are you a shower or a bath person?<br />

Bath Are you an early bird or a night<br />

owl? Neither! I hate early morning and<br />

don’t like to be too late going to bed<br />

For the benefit of those who don’t<br />

know, could you tell us what you do? I<br />

am Chief Executive Officer of Leeway<br />

Domestic Violence and Abuse Services<br />

who supports adults, children & young<br />

people experiencing domestic abuse.<br />

What made you go into this line<br />

of work?<br />

I started as a volunteer with the charity<br />

in 1989 & because I was passionate<br />

about wanting to support women and<br />

children who were suffering from<br />

domestic abuse.<br />

How do people react when you<br />

tell them what you do? Outside of<br />

the DV sector that is! “<br />

Oh that must be rewarding” is a<br />

popular response.<br />
