Stephen Dunn
Appointed as a Trustee on 29 July 2007. My younger brother Stuart has Williams. After many years of being miss-diagnosed due to poor awareness of the condition amongst healthcare professionals, Stuart was finally diagnosed with Williams Syndrome a few years ago. This has made a huge difference to Stuart and our family; Stuart is no longer searching for answers and everyone now know’s what we are dealing with and how best to support him.
The Williams Syndrome Foundation have provided invaluable support to Stuart and our family since his
diagnosis and as a healthcare marketing and communications professional, I feel that I can provide insight and
expertise to help raise the profile of Williams amongst healthcare and allied professionals to ensure early
diagnosis and appropriate ongoing support. Email:
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. Email
