Ivana Johnston has joined LEAP to manage its ever-popular learning, health and wellbeing classes and activities.

Ivana, who had been volunteering with LEAP as a befriender and at one of its friendship groups, said: “I had been looking for an opportunity exactly like this as it is a perfect fit for what I want to do professionally.

“I am now getting around to meet people and tutors and learn more about what they want from our classes and activities so I can meet the needs of everyone who takes part.”

Stuart McGregor, LEAP’s executive director, said: “LEAP started more than 30 years ago to provide classes and activities for people age 50 and over.

“These are still important today, with more than 1,500 people taking part and I know Ivana will continue to provide quality opportunities for older people to remain an active part of their community.”
