Dave

Charity Founder and Project Leader

Hi, My name is Dave and I'm the Prohject Leader and Charity Founder of Connect Alloa. I've a lot of passion to make a difference in the community and I try to work really hard to make sure we support as many people as we can. My background is in Community Education and after doing many roles including youth work, work with the homeless, supporting people with disabilities, aiding the elderly and research positions I finally started my dream job of beginning a charity for young people where there was a real need in late 2018. In my spare time I love playing video games, reading comics, watching films and spending time with my family.

Hi, my name is Courtney and I am a volunteer and trustee with Connect Alloa. I first joined Connect Alloa to try something new and have a bit of fun, but since then I have learned new skills, gained experience and made some good friends! I have a HND in Events Management which aids in planning fundraising events, however since graduating I have decided to work towards becoming a learning assistant instead. In my spare time I like to paint, make costumes, read comic books and play video games.

Sang

Trustee

My name is Sang and I am the Minister of St. Mungo's Parish Church here in Alloa. It is where Connect Alloa meets on Tuesday and Friday evenings. When Dave Crozier approached me in late 2018 with the idea of providing a welcoming place for young people, a space where they are understood and accepted as and by friends, I said, "Let's do this thing." I am passionate about Jazz and I am also certified archery enthusiast. I enjoy playing tennis and staying busy with my two border collies, Wittgenstein and Ella.

Jo

Chairperson

Jo

Chairperson

After earning a B.Ed (Hons) and Post Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Practice, I primarily worked in additional support needs teaching before taking up a role specialising in supporting organisations with managing and understanding behaviours that challenge. After 5 years of working with staff within a range of organisations as an external consultant, I was keen to have a more direct role in impacting on the services and experiences that young people were being offered, so in 2018 I joined the Connect Trustee Team. Driven by a passion for providing meaningful experiences, high quality service and great team support, late 2019 I took on the role of Connect Chairperson.
