Emma Adam and Emily e1471082077643
We welcome to the board our two new trustees.

Emma Lower (Left) moved to Taunton in 1989 having lived and worked in Penzance,Carlisle Cardiff and Salford in the Hotel and Catering Industry.  Emma has held various sales and management roles across a number of organisations. With a young son, Emma is keen to make a difference by supporting SAV, and helping with educating young people on the negative impact of violence across the whole community.

Emily Worthington (Right) has worked in public sector communications and marketing teams for nearly 5 years. Emily has also seen the effect drunken violence can have on people close to her and admires the charity's ethos that giving young people the knowledge of choice and consequences can help prevent violence in our communities.

We are pleased to welcome Emily and Emma to our board and the skills they bring will be of significant benefit to SAV as we continue to grow.
