Our newest Jo joined the Fife Gingerbread team in April 2009 as the Development Worker for West Fife. She was previously a Family support worker for Contact a Family, supporting parents and carers of disabled children. This role gave her in-depth knowledge of the benefits, health, education, and the impact of caring for a disabled child on the family unit. The best part of the job was actually being able to make a difference to people's lives - something she hopes to continue in her new role.

Jo's perfect day includes being pampered at a beautiful, tranquil spa while toasting her lottery win with some champagne! If she had her way, Colin Firth would be invited to join her at the spa!

Michelle joined the Gingerbread team in January 2010. She is keen to pick up the Buddy Project and make it her own. Michelle's background is ideal for working within Fife Gingerbread and we're delighted to have her as part of the team.

Michelle's favourite film is Bridget Jones' Diary as she can empathise with the big pants! Her favourite food is pasta, pasta and more pasta and her big fear is of heights!
