MEET THE NED'S

Ron Pimm (Capt, Rtd)

Non-Executive Director at The M Word

Ron served 26 years in the British Army with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, finally leaving service in 2003. Like many Veterans, he had more than a few problems in adjusting to civilian life. To help cope with his problems he has devoted a great deal of his free time to helping others. He is a volunteer at the Southampton Veterans Drop-In Centre and an active Freemason, and gains a lot of satisfaction from giving help that can often make a big difference to the lives of others.

Ginny Dix, BA (Hons)

Ginny became interested in Young People’s Mental Health when her own children started to face difficulties, and the provisions at School and elsewhere were underwhelming. Wishing to understand more about the Mental Health challenges of Young People – driven largely by the lack of satisfactory services available for her own children – She trained as a volunteer on a project supporting Young People and families.
