YMCA @ Hayes Lane

My whole professional life has been spent in the Black Country, half of it as a company owner and the other half as a clergyman in the Church of England.
Since encountering Jesus in March 1984, when I became a Christian, my priorities have unquestionably altered.
I have the opportunity to repay what God and others have done for me by helping YMCA Black Country.
I joined the YMCA of British Columbia because I wanted to support the outstanding job they perform.
I've worked in social action, housing, health care, and community services for 23 years.
After 44 years in the accounting field, I retired in 2007.
I hoped that the YMCA might benefit from my business and youth work expertise.
I've spent more than 30 years working in a variety of fields, such as local government, educational institutions, and business, all while striving to bring about change for individuals whose voices are rarely heard.
I started working in the nonprofit sector in 2009, and I believe that the basis of Christian values is a wonderful opportunity for me to combine my Christian religion with improving people's lives.
Being a part of the YMCA of BC is a pleasure and an honour.
For 34 years, I worked in the construction sector as a customer, consultant, and contractor.
I have spent the most of my professional career working in the recruiting sector. In 2009, I became a trustee and board member for the YMCA of British Columbia.
I'm quite involved in my local church and consider it an honour to be able to contribute in any way to the YMCA's work in the Black Country.
I have been a Christian my entire life and strive to further my religion. I was born and raised in the Black Country.
I want to give back to the neighbourhood where I grew up.
I find inspiration in the YMCA's work, and I have a special interest in what they do to assist the homeless.
I became a Christian when I was 17 years old, and the love of Jesus radically changed the course of my life.
Since 2015, when I sold my enterprises, I have been actively involved in founding and leading a local free evangelical church.
Being elected to both the YMCA of England & Wales' main board and the Black Country YMCA's local board is an honour.
