I have been involved with RCVDA for 10 years now and have represented the organisation and sector locally, sub-regionally and regionally the only area I need still to experience is the national one, there is time yet.

Ian Jeffrey
I have been a member of RCVDA executive for some 20 years and have played a constructive and positive role during the course of the development of the organisation. In addition, I have a direct personal involvement in a number of voluntary & community activities which enables me to link up grass roots activities with higher level strategic considerations. I promote the value and benefits of voluntary work in my roles as and elected member of Redcar & Cleveland Council and the local strategic partnership.
Peter Spencer
I have been involved with the voluntary sector since the early 1980’s. The main charity that I service is Tees Valley Rural Community Council of which I have had the honour of being Chairman for the last twelve years. I am a board Trustee of South Bank Millennium Green and a member of the Network.
In the past I was on the original start up committee of the Guisborough Museum and the Market Town Initiative of Guisborough. I am also a Town and Borough Councillor.
My skills are financial, public speaking and training skills.
Jim Wingham
Until recently I was the chair of the Redcar & Cleveland Community Network and I still intend to play an active role within the network.
Over the years I have been involved in Voluntary & Community work in various ways. At the moment I am a school governor at both schools in Saltburn, Chair of the Saltburn Gill Action Group, attempting to stop pollution in a small trout stream amongst other things.
I wish to help the organisation by sharing my knowledge and experience to help others.
