Hi, I'm Sally Nutbeem and am currently Chair of Trustees for Mindful, having been invited to join as a trustee in 2015. I am passionately interested in dementia and have previously worked in this field for both Age UK and the Alzheimer's Society. I also volunteer for Dementia Friendly Shaftesbury. My leisure interests include nature, wildlife, playing table tennis, sport generally and walking our dog through the beautiful Dorset countryside.

Hi, I'm Barbara and I am currently Mindful's Membership Secretary. I have volunteered with Mindful for about 10 years, and help to run the Gillingham and Stalbridge Cafes on a regular basis.  I am also involved in a variety of other local voluntary activities. I worked as a POPP Wayfinder for 9 years, giving me an insight into supporting clients in the community.

Hi, I'm Mike and I help to run the Men Marching On group. Having taught science and IT for many years, I am now working as the Roman Catholic Chaplain at HMP Guys Marsh.  I am a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church, married to Barbara, with three sons and one grand-daughter.  I enjoy singing, playing the guitar, and spending time with my family.

I also volunteer with the Princes Trust.

Hi my name is Michelle. 

I started as a volunteer at the  Gillingham Mindful Cafe in February 2020, and recently I have been invited to become a trustee with Mindful.
