Mary Harris
As Bracknell Town Clerk I was very involved in the start of the Landshare in 2011 and have remained a Friend since that time. As a Director I bring experience of managing a wide range of community projects from supported housing and open spaces to play areas and cemeteries! In particular I have personnel and budget management skills. Now retired I work as a volunteer for a local hospital trust and an environment group and enjoy gardening, cooking, handicrafts and learning to play the piano.
Paul Adams - Director CIC
Paul Adams
I have lived in the Bracknell Forest community for over thirty five years with my wife and four grown children who still live locally.
Having retired in 2014 I am very keen to put back into the area that has supported my family for many years. I am passionate about young people and the elderly in the community getting supported and having access to facilities that can improve health and wellbeing and give them a greater opportunity in life. In relation to the elderly community, I feel it important to involve them and make them feel valued to help combat the loneliness and isolation issues that sometimes c come along with getting old.
The Jealott's Hill Community Landshare is a fantastic project that has already proved its value. The new look Community Interest Company is just another chapter in making a real difference in the community with a continuance of the innovative and exciting horticultural project
Since retiring I have been a foster carer locally at Bracknell Forest Council and established my own children’s charity Power of Parenting ( POP ) to support the local foster children and their families. I also run my own “speak up” company Say So that is changing the way we support people in their working environment, keeping them safe.
I am a Trustee of the “Adopt A Grand Parent” ; which is another amazing initiative to support the elderly, along with being a local Winkfield Parish Councillor.
I have been a public protection advisor for the police service for five years supporting the training and development of police officers to safeguard children.
