Dawn Taylor
Trustee
I was born a Cheshire Lass, who while touring around the country in a motorhome, fell in love with this part of the country particularly the Rhins of Galloway and Loch Ryan area, its wildlife, stunning views, and friendly people.
Moved into the Corsewall area 3 years ago, still working remotely as a Financial Controller and more recently as a Personal Assistant on a part time basis.
Happily married to a wildlife enthusiast for over 40 years, and after achieving my longstanding ambition of living in the country by the sea, I am now living the dream.

Lesley Clayton
Trustee
For many years I worked in Prison education, where I set up accreditation such as City & Guilds, National OCNs and a University Foundation Award for learners aiming towards a degree.
These links grew to form an arts alliance with hosts in many countries and I was able to visit Denmark & Germany as part of my work.
Now retired, I enjoy exploring the nature on my doorstep and making art in my home studio and my involvement with the Kirkcolm Community Trust team, means I can share my artistic skills and knowledge for the community.
