I've worked in the charity sector for over 25 years after graduating in law. My career has included working in the advice, mental health and homelessness sectors and includes a role for a MH recovery centre where I facilitated a board games therapy group. I've been playing games since childhood, including roleplaying games since 1982 and I continue to regularly play games in several social groups and promote games as a therapeutic pastime. I'm also a director with Guildhouse Games Ltd, a community board games venue in Didcot. Since 1999, I also spend some of my free time at a monastery.
