Eilidh Kerr
Community Engagement Officer
My role is to connect our local community with opportunities to become more active and improve their independent lives. Listening to their needs, expectations and helping improve our provision through working with and supporting them along with the rest of the team. On the weekend, you will find me crafting and park hopping with my grandchildren, spending time growing flowers in my garden or cosied up with good murder.

I provide Admin Support across the whole team, helping our officers with day-to-day tasks and project support.
