Graham Macey
Trustee Initially trained and worked as a machine tool engineer but by his late 20's his love of music had led him into a life as teacher, performer and writer, mainly revolving around his passion for classical guitar. A move to Cornwall in 2001 inspired him to start and run a community arts project, whose foundation was the fulfilment of his nagging belief that every person has the God given ability, need and right, to be able to express themselves in a creative way. Everything he learnt during this period led him to become Groups Development Officer at South Hams Community and Voluntary Service in Totnes (his favourite job of all time!). He worked there until his retirement in 2012. |
