Sue has been the chair of SGPC since 2015. With a background in educational psychology, she has always had a passion for children and young people with SEND. Since Sue’s retirement, she has been involved in many projects including the Autism Education Trust and a school governor at a specialist school. She is also a grandparent to two adorable grandchildren.

Sue has been involved with SGPC since 2009 and manages the operational side of the company. Sue started as a volunteer, and has seen many developments in that time. She became a director when SGPC became a CIC in 2013.

Lloyd joined SGPC in 2018 as a non-executive director and brings a wealth of expertise to the board, gained from many years of planning, delivering and improving services in the public sector, including the NHS. This experience (much of it focused on setting and managing budgets) serves him well in his role as finance director for SGPC. Several of his children have additional needs so the work of SGPC is especially close to his heart.

Leonie is SGPC’s community support manager, overseeing all of our support teams. Leonie’s background is in paediatric nursing, but she took some time off from nursing in 2010 to enable her to focus more on her son who has Down Syndrome. At this time Leonie became involved with SGPC as she was interested in making a difference for other families, as well as working alongside professionals to help improve and shape services. She started off volunteering as a parent Rep and in 2013 she became a director and helped to develop SGPC into a Community Interest Company (CIC Not For Profit). Leonie has a passion for helping other parent carers and being part of SGPC.
