I lead communications for ScoutsCymru, helping to tell the story of Scouting in Wales and the difference it makes for young people, volunteers and local groups every day. My work includes shaping our messages, creating content, supporting campaigns and ensuring our brand and voice are consistent. I work closely with the team to gather insight and develop the tools volunteers need and strengthen how we share our impact. A key part of my role is helping position ScoutsCymru as a trusted, influential voice in youth policy, making sure the experiences of young people in Wales are heard and understood. I love a photo and get excited every time we’re tagged into a post on social! And I volunteer for Barry Dock RNLI so if you like orange boats and yellow wellies, follow us on socials!

I administer the Board of Trustees and all sub committees, ensuring effective governance through timely agendas, accurate minutes and prompt circulation of meeting information. I coordinate committee papers, track actions across groups, and maintain comprehensive records. My role includes monitoring the ScoutsCymru Grants Fund, maintaining the annual governance calendar, organising the AGM, supporting the Trustees and occasionally providing cover for online banking tasks and post. I routinely review the Constitution and Schedules, aim to stay as up to date with guidance (particularly Chairty Commission) as possible, and support any governance projects, when needed. In addition to this, I’m also working alongside one of our volunteers to review our internal digital provision. Overall, I aim to work collaboratively across the ScoutsCymru staff team to help volunteers and young people feel informed, confident, and connected, in addition to sharing best practice and striving to raise the standard of governance for everyone involved. I’m also a Cub leader!
