“As the first employee of Giving Back, I am incredibly proud to have been part of this inspiring journey with Pam. Her unwavering drive and commitment to helping individuals in our community have been nothing short of extraordinary. Pam's visionary approach, particularly in providing employment training opportunities for young people with a focus on neurodiversity, has truly showcased what it means to be a leader with a heart for change.
Pam has consistently demonstrated a passionate dedication to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone has the chance to thrive. It's been an honour to witness and contribute to the positive impact she has made on so many lives. Her efforts have opened doors for countless individuals, empowering them to achieve their full potential and paving the way for a brighter future.
“Pam is unique, when she told me her plans to establish a new charity in Broughty Ferry and invited me to become a trustee, I had no hesitation in saying yes. I have known for a long time that if Pam decides to do something then she absolutely will.
To have established a charity and sourced funding to run several initiatives within the first year of operation is nothing short of outstanding. Dundee and especially Broughty Ferry is lucky to have someone so driven and passionate working so hard to support the local area.
I'm proud to call Pam my colleague and friend and she deserves the recognition for the good work she does.
