Alan Bruce
Alan was appointed a Trustee in July 2008, having been a member of the Foundation for more than 5 years. He has a son, Andrew, who was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome, aged 9 weeks. He and his wife, Linda, live on the outskirts of Glasgow with Andrew and his older sister Jennifer. His main involvement with the Foundation up until his appointment had been in fundraising through various different events involving family and friends, but he now hopes to put his energy and ideas in this area to good use in his new role as a Trustee. He is also really looking forward to working closely as a team with the regional coordinators in Scotland.
