Claire 1
As we say goodbye and good luck for the future to Kirsty Conger, our long time supporter and a dedicated member of the team, we welcome a new member to the SAV team, Claire.

Claire McMurdo takes over from Kirsty in the role of administrator and bookings coordinator for the charity.

Claire said, 'my role within in SAV is as an administrator and bookings  co-ordinator . I have a degree in psychology and a certificate in counselling. I spent a lot of my career working in education and for charities that work around mental health. The story of Lloyd and how a split second decision had such  ripple effect on so many lives struck a chord with me, especially since I have two sons. I am keen to help SAV reach out to as many young people as possible so that they may feel confident and be equipped with the knowledge to protect themselves and others.'

We very much look forward to working with Claire and wish her all the best in her new role.
