Hobbies and Interests

In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit and have been a regular gym member for many years. I love taking part in different classes; to maintain my fitness, meet new people and experience fresh challenges. I enjoy competing in charity events to raise money for good causes and to test my endurance. Events I have taken part in are the Race for Life, a 24 hour spinning event and the Potters Half Marathon. City breaks are a passion of mine, both in the UK and abroad; finding the best views and seeking out prominent places to visit to understand the culture of a city. I am also an avid reader of fiction.

Additional information

I have a current, enhanced DBS certificate.
