SDS is delighted to welcome Phillippa MacDonald to the SDS team in her new post as Tayside Get Out Get Active (GOGA) Manager. Phillippa lives in Dundee, and joins SDS from her previous role as Health & Wellbeing Worker within NHS Tayside. She has also previously worked for Barnardo’s and Dundee City Council.
Phillippa will drive forward the GOGA Tayside health based programme that supports disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy being active together. The Spirit of 2012 and London Marathon Charitable Trust funded programme is being run in close partnership with NHS Tayside and will work through encouraging and supporting the very least active disabled and non-disabled people to be active together. Support will also be available enhance physical recreation opportunities and to provide training for key volunteers and staff.
We all wish Phillippa every success in her new position and look forward to the roll out of the GOGA programme across Tayside.
