Additional Experience

Volunteering

I dedicate a great deal of my personal time to volunteer for local charities and support other small businesses.

Beloved Rabbits

Founder, Trustee & Director

December 2010 to Present

I am the Director of Scotland’s only dedicated rabbit rescue charity, Beloved Rabbits. 

Operating as a volunteer-led animal rescue organisation, the charity relies on foster carers to temporarily care for unwanted and neglected rabbits whilst new permanent homes are sought.

A small charity of 100+ volunteers and approximately £60k income per year, I am proud of the charity’s highly professional business processes, and digital service focus.

Volunteer meetings are regularly held via Microsoft Teams, all members have access to a cloud-based animal management database, and foster carers manage their expenses and vet payments using a business payment card solution provided by Spendesk.
