The Ridgeline Trust is very pleased to announce that following a number of strong applications for our Development Officer position, we have appointed Shane Daunt for the part time role, funded from the Grassroots award we received from Berkshire Community Foundation, over the next 7 months.

Shane’s role will be to help The Ridgeline Trust in:

*Designing, establishing, and helping to run a programme of activities for users of the Ridgeline Therapeutic Wildlife Garden

*Building new networks with the community and community groups

*Organising events such as open days at the garden

*Publicity to potential users, sponsors and the wider community

*Fundraising and grant applications

Shane has a background in civil & structural engineering and more recently running his own company in the music industry.  The mix of skills he has acquired in these fields will be a great asset to The Ridgeline Trust in helping us develop our plans for the new building. Shane is also a keen gardener and has been involved in a number of charity fundraisers whilst also sponsoring environmental and charities for the disabled.

We look forward to posting more good news over the coming months!
