Amber Gammon
Chair Person
Amber is our Chair of Trustees and a support worker for adults with learning and physical disabilities. Amber brings a wealth of experience, both personally and professionally, to Adventure Therapy.
As a parent of a child who has experienced the thrill of surf sessions with Adventure Therapy, Amber initially volunteered her time to support the charity at activities and help us provide sessions for other children, in addition to the adults we work with. Amber says:
“In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors and being active. I love spending time with my friends and especially my three children. Adventure Therapy is fantastic as it opens up the minds of those who take part to see the possibilities of what they can achieve and overcome, regardless of any disability or self doubt. Not only does the charity provide fun, excitement and new experiences but it continues to build up an individuals confidence to set goals and achieve them.”
As support worker, a volunteer and a parent of a child whose family has benefited from our services, Amber welcomed the opportunity to become a Trustee of Adventure Therapy and help us to continue to change lives through adventure.
