Meet The Team

Adele recently joined WATIF and brings experience across accountancy, social enterprise and community development. Her career has spanned the corporate and third sectors, giving her a strong understanding of governance, organisational development and community-led change.

​

After training as an accountant, Adele took a role with a Big Four accountancy firm before moving into a senior internal audit role within a multinational manufacturing company based in the USA. She later founded Your Pay Your Way, a social enterprise focused on improving access to financial education and helping people build confidence in managing their finances.

​

Alongside running her own social enterprise, Adele worked with the Social Enterprise Academy, supporting schools, community groups and aspiring social entrepreneurs across Scotland. As a Key Facilitator, she mentored others and helped develop programmes that empower people to create positive change in their communities.

​

Adele will be focusing on strengthening WATIF through building partnerships and ensuring that local people remain at the heart of decision-making. She is committed to developing sustainable projects, supporting locals and creating opportunities that benefit residents across the area.

​

She will prioritise 3 key areas:

Community-Led Development: Ensuring local people have genuine opportunities to influence priorities, shape projects and help determine the future direction of the Trust.

Sustainable Growth: Developing projects, services and assets that create long-term social, environmental and economic benefits.

Collaboration and Opportunity: Building strong relationships with residents, volunteers, businesses and partners to maximise opportunities and deliver meaningful impact.
