With an impressive background in education, Jim has a deep understanding of the challenges our charity seeks to address. His expertise will undoubtedly strengthen our decision-making processes, ensuring that we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the charitable sector with purpose.

Jim has a keen interest in sports and was a founder member of Biggar Rugby Football Club.  He played for them for many years before injury forced him to stop. However, he remained involved in a coaching capacity, as well as fixture secretary for a long time. He also became involved in officiating and has refereed at a high level.  Once injury again prevented him from continuing in this role, he became a TMO (Television Match Official) and officiated at the European Cup finals as well as at almost 50 international matches.

As we embark on this new chapter with Jim as a trustee, we are confident his fresh perspectives will aid our efforts to create positive change in the lives of children and young people living in the Clydesdale area. With Jim on board, we look forward to reaching new heights and achieving even greater success in our ongoing efforts to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our young people.
