Ian

“I am a husband, the father of two grown-up boys and a retired engineer

“We share our lovely house with a dog and a cat. I have travelled and worked all over the world and love to meet new people as I find that there is so much to learn from everyone.

“I have spent the past five years working in social care and understand the challenges in caring for people, and know how beneficial social interaction can be as we age.

“I love music, ballroom and Latin dancing, most sports and playing all kinds of games. Cooking and entertaining are things I enjoy as well as making new friends to share a meal and have lots of fun.”

Ian supports families from south of Horsham, Southwater, Christ’s Hospital and all the villages around these areas.

“I was looking for something to do.  My wife suggested I look at Tapestry Day Club.   It was a good fit for me and I enjoy cooking.  I felt I needed to do something and it really intereseted me. For me it is seeing what my guests get from the day, seeing them have a good time and go home happy”.
