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 />
