Wendy, Director
Wendy has worked in the field of learning difficulties/disabilities for over 35 years.
Most of this time has been in education, particularly of people over 16, but she has also worked in both the NHS and social care during that time.
Her interest in dementia was particularly sparked when a family member was diagnosed. Through the work carried out by the team since July 2015, when Film Night first began, her commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities and other social needs has grown.
