Lynne joined Down’s Syndrome Scotland in January 2025, bringing 14 years of experience as a Prison Officer to her new role. Since becoming mother to Paisley, her 2.5-year-old daughter who has Down’s syndrome, Lynne has been motivated to become actively involved in the Down’s syndrome community.

When Lynne saw her current position advertised, she immediately recognised it as the perfect opportunity for her. She describes working for DSS as joining an amazing charity that aligns perfectly with her values.

Due to Paisley’s medical needs, Lynne dedicates most of her time outside work to caring for her daughter. However, she does enjoy going to bingo.
