Big News from Stepping Stones!
We’ve got some updates for you; After 16 years at Stepping Stones our former Operations Director ‘John White’ retired at the end of Spring, we are sure that everyone will join us in wishing him all the best. No doubt he’ll be a familiar face at future Stepping Stones events. Since May this year, we welcomed ‘Bronwyn O’Riordan’ as Chief Officer, many of our service members will have met her already, in the office, or out and about at groups and community events. Bronwyn is very excited to use her experience and skills from over 20 years in the Third Sector to help Stepping Stones develop our services and support our community in West Dunbartonshire.
The staff team have been very busy, we are implementing change across our services and groups, introducing more peer and volunteer opportunities and investing in our people. We are delighted to say that our staff have all taken part in Neurodivergency Acceptance & Mental Health Training, and we are continuing to create a more inclusive culture at Stepping Stones. In addition to our efforts for inclusivity and accessibility please keep your eyes peeled for upcoming changes to our website.
We’re really happy about these changes and will keep working hard to support our community!
