Anne Rich

“I am a Trustee at Stour Connect, and am currently running the Connect to Employment Asdan course with the aim of encouraging people who lack confidence, or opportunity, into work. I am a qualified teacher and have worked in both mainstream and private education for over twenty-five years, with a specialism in teaching post 16 aged students with additional needs.

Community volunteering is high on my agenda, and I run a local Toddler group, a foodbank, and have chaired various charities in the area. For fun, I love live theatre, and was involved in our local drama group until I stopped being able to learn lines! Swimming and reading are my main hobbies now.

My husband and I have lived in Mere for forty years and have two children and four grandchildren.”
