She is also a Trustee Director of Kirkwood Hospice and a Trustee Director of Maggie’s. She is a Consultant for Next-Up – providing guidance on unretirement and helping employers and individuals use their skills and experience in new ways. As Senior Independent Director on the Board, Caroline is keen to support the Chair and team in continuing its work of developing Yorkshire Sport Foundation to meet the challenges of the future.
With two grown up children, she now has more time to devote to her hobbies of running, pilates and growing vegetables very badly. She is also a master scuba diver.
