Karen Fraser has over 30 years of experience working within social care, mainly supporting adults who have a learning and/or physical disability.  Before working at Down’s Syndrome Scotland she was Deputy Manager of a highly regarded supported housing service and day centre.

Alongside her professional work, Karen also has caring responsibilities within her own family, which has deepened understanding and empathy in both her personal and professional life.

Outside of work she spends a lot of time with family and especially enjoy the company of her grandchildren, Honey and Myles.  She enjoys catching up with her lovely circle of friends whenever she can. The thrill of watching the DSS garden do so well at RHS Chelsea Flower Show inspired her to enjoying her garden more and more this summer.
