Our long-serving Head of Community Development, Paul, Wilson, has today departed for a new challenge. Everyone at the Community Trust wishes Paul all the very best.

Jamie Kirk, Chief Executive for the Community Trust, added “Paul has been a fantastic asset for our Charity now for close to 5 years and has played a massive part in our success in recent years. We will miss his experience and wish him all the best for his upcoming new challenge.”
NEW STAFFING STUCTURE
Pauls departure gives the Community Trust the chance to freshen up our structure and give an opportunity for progression in our team as we continue to strive to improve the lives of people in Dundee and the surrounding areas.

Mel had this to say about her new role “It’s been great working closely with Paul over the years, I’ve learned a lot. This new opportunity is really exciting and I can’t wait to get started.”
Jamie Kirk added “I’d like to put on record my congratulations to Mel and Lisa, they both really deserve these new opportunities. Both are fantastic assets to the Community Trust and I’m sure they will thrive in their respective new positions. I’m really looking to working with Lisa, Mel and the rest of the team on continuing to develop and expand our work.
