Our Trustees

Clare Finnimore

I became a user of Insight after sight loss stopped me in my tracks and found the resources and staff extremely helpful.  I now use my lived experience of sight loss to help inform the Board and to help the organistion focus on the things that matter. I want to make sure this organisation continues to help many others in the way they helped me.

In my professional life, I was an occupational therapist with a special interest in building design and accessibility for disabled people. Now I’m working with writers and creatives and waiting for a guide dog.

Carl Hall

Carl brings over 30 years of experience in operational management, with a strong track record of growing and leading healthcare businesses. In the past 15 years, he has helped scale several acute healthcare companies, combining strategic thinking with a commitment to quality and safety in regulated environments. Carl’s passion for collaboration and community also extends to his voluntary work. He serves on the advisory committee of the Bath, NE Somerset and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board and is a trustee for both Wiltshire Sight and Insight Gloucestershire.

Louise Simmonds

I have been a Trustee of Insight Gloucestershire since 2007 having been introduced by Tim Rice, who was a colleague at the time. My professional career is in Human Resources, so I support the team wherever I can in this area of expertise.  I’m passionate about the impact Insight has on its service users, and proud of the team we have in place delivering our work.

When I’m not working, my favourite pastime is walking my dog in the beautiful Cotswold countryside.
