Andy has been a carer for his partner for the past 20 years and has been connected within the care sector on a strategic level for a number of those years. Both within his role at Carers Leeds and also as a carer for his father who suffers from dementia, he utilises his management and organisation skills gained from his previous employment to liaise with the various organisations we all often utilise in the day to day caring of our loved ones. 

He was also the Carer Governor for 9 years at the NHS Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust.
