Jo brings extensive experience in events, marketing and communications, having successfully managed international projects for clients such as Harvard Business School and Eurostar. She also spent over 15 years as a senior manager at the renowned Glasgow arts venue Òran Mór, overseeing events, marketing and operations. But what makes Jo’s appointment even more special is that she’s also a mother to a 12-year-old son with Down’s syndrome.

This means Jo understands our work not just professionally but personally. She knows the daily realities the celebrations and the challenges that families in our community face. Combined with her expertise in Corporate Social Responsibility and creating inclusive environments Jo will help us reach even more families and make an even bigger impact.

When she’s not working or volunteering with us Jo loves travelling, attending gigs, cooking, and wild swimming with her family.
