When I am not working, you can find me in my boat fishing. I have interests in bottle collecting, reading, camping and a love for seafood.

Donna Staines (Community Peer Worker: Craft Master)
I become a disability support worker because I had a massive change in my life and didn’t know what to do. I raised two deaf children and was told I would fit the role. I have worked at GDS for almost seven years. My hobbies include lawn bowls and anything crafty. Cardmaking, knitting, album making, sewing and cooking. If I don’t know how to do something, I will learn to do it. A fun fact about me I am terrified of ladders but not scared of heights.
