JEAN

In 1985, Jean became involved with the Gillespie Dance Group whilst working
as a carer and has been a very active member of the group ever since.
Although she said it was strange to start with, Jean says that the group
is a great way to forget your aches and pains and 'you're never too old
to start!'. Although Jean's not keen on performing herself, she loves
showing other people her age how much there is to gain through dance,
despite the off stage nerves! She loves seeing how much the performers
give to their audiences. Jean joined the Green Candle board in 2004.

worked for 5 years. She spent her early career years with Accenture,
