Gaylin has worked in the charity sector for most of her adult life, including working in social care with a homeless charity. She used to run an online art group for several years which has aided skills used for FriendZ Space activities.

Joining Down’s Syndrome Scotland in 2024 Gayle finds she has come to appreciate at heart level how valuable people with Down’s syndrome are to our society and pleased to be a small part of supporting them at DSS.

Outside of DSS she works part time as a counsellor for a bereavement service. Gayle loves to paint and read, as well as hiking and wild swimming in the beautiful Scottish wilds.
