Manager Retiring after 14 years with the Charity

It is with some sadness that we must inform our friends, colleagues and members that Keith, our Access Inclusion Manager, will be retiring on the 31st of May 2026.

 Keith has already worked for the five years over his retirement age and he feels that it's time to concentrate his efforts in other areas.

Keith is one of the very few qualified professionals in the field of Disability Access Awareness and Design and is a graduate of Heriot Watt University in this field.

Losing Keith will mean that our range of services will be curtailed somewhat, especially at home in Scotland where Keith's expertise in design, legislation and guidance has been such a main-stay of the charity over the past 14 years.

the trustees have decided to concentrate most of our efforts on supporting disabled people in Ukraine given the desperate situation that they find themselves in with the savage war with Russia. However, if approached, we will always try to do our best for any disabled person, their carers and relatives in Scotland.

One of the most important tasks facing trustees as Keith moves to pastors new as to fund ways to be able to donate wheelchairs and mobility aids to disable people in need in Ukraine.

We hope that you understand why Keith feels that it is time for him to retire from his work life, especially as his own disability continues to progress as the years march on. Keith has been a wheelchair user for over 44 years now.  The Trustees of Disability Beyond Borders wish Keith all the best for the future.
