Beth Simco
Trustee
I have a background in social and economic development of the local area through a range of social and capital projects. Latterly, my employment has moved to the private sector where I work with and represent range of clients within grid and associated infrastructure related projects.
In addition to my employment, I have also co-founded a charity: Sutherland Adventure Company. The charity aims to provide opportunities for the local community to utilise their natural assets through affordable sessions out on the water to support mental health, mental clarity and time out in nature for people across Sutherland.
I recognise working and living in remote rural areas comes with its own challenges and barriers – in particular the landscape for delivering and accessing mental health support in isolated areas. I acknowledge there is still a huge amount of work to continue to create awareness of the impact of living and working rurally to individual mental wellbeing.
I am enthused and deepened by the vital work of the team behind Mikeysline. It is an honour to be able to listen and contribute to the team to continue developing services and awareness across Highland, Moray and the islands.
