I am the International and National Manager of 18u. I form partnerships with agencies all over the UK and abroad and am now working to get VIP translated and out across the world. I do lots of fundraising, training and talks. I also support abuse survivors and have been doing this for a long, long time.I am studying a post-graduate Masters degree in child protection @ Dundee University as I like to keep my brain trained.
I live with my partner, Sandra in Carse of Gowrie in Perthshire and my fave thing is pottering in my garden. My children are all grown up but I have grandchildren to play with now. I have a gentle Golden Retriever called Sithe and a crazy Siamese cat called Bandit.

Hey, my name is Keiran and I am the promo guy for Eighteen And Under with a special emphasis on the VIP programme. I’m from Dundee and I’m 24, I like fast cars and bikes (typically lol) – (but I do actually own 1 of each!).
My other interests are archery, sailing, music (I play piano and guitar) acting/drama. Other hobbies include attempting to sum up my life in 100 words, depressingly easy actually!
I guess I’m known as the man of the office; and everyone loves my cocky go get them attitude (ha!) My motto is – if you can do it so can I, but just cause I can do it doesnt mean you can!.

Hi. My name is Katy and I am a full time worker for Eighteen And Under. Most of my work involves delivering VIP sessions but I am also involved in promotions, support and anything else that needs to be done.

I have been with Eighteen And Under for three years now and the highlights most definately include our fundraising cycle along Hadrian's Wall as well as the fundraising parties and visiting the Houses of Parliament for the launch of 'See Us Hear Us'.

Hi I'm Jerri and I'm a full time support worker for Izzy's Promise and the Volunteer Coordinator for 18 & Under. I've also been a volunteer with 18u for over 15 years.

I have a 3 year old son who is now one of our youngest volunteers and did his part for the charity by cycling across The Tay Bridge and back, which was 3 miles. Needless to say, I was a very proud mum! I'm a cheery person and love to laugh and joke and make others happy.

Hello I'm Aileen and I help out with the promotions and marketing stuff. I design all the websites and maintain them as a volunteer. I'm proud to have designed a lot of the promotional material and the VIP Resources too.

I am studying for my degree in Web Design and Development at Abertay University and when I have time and the inclination I play golf. Othewise I play far too many computer games than are good for me. I like to write too - stories, poems and books and I have a children's novel 'The Green Gang' which was published a few years ago.I have several books in me, but I'm saving them all up until I retire!

Hello. My name is Sandra. There are 2 Sandra's I hear you say, well I get called Sandra Mac. I started working with Eighteen and Under 7 years ago, looking after our Chairperson's little girl. Now having been to a lot of training, I am one of the Support Workers. I have done this for 4 years. I have travelled to support young people in Court as far as London. I also have lots of fun delivering the VIP (Violence is Preventable) programme.

I am lucky enough to be the mother of the up and coming President of Scotland. He is regularly seen walking about the office and offering advice to everyone. If you see me in the office, stop me and ask questions as I like talking too!

Hi. I am a volunteer with Eighteen and Under. I can turn my hand to most things except support of young people. That part can be done by others who are more qualified than me. I am one of 3 Child Protection workers within the organisation, and try to keep up to date with the ever changing legislation. This means that you can ask my advice if you are not sure about a situation a young person may tell you. I also try fundraising and write letters out to smaller trusts telling them who we are what we do and ask for money to support us. Its very boring, but its one of these things that has to be done, otherwise we would not exist.

I also helped raise a lot of money with some of the workers when we cycled Hadrians Wall last year (2009).

I am Karen and I have been the chairperson of Eighteen And Under for the past 10 years. Every time I try to escape, someone, or something pulls me back in to help out. I am a Company Director but am also a volunteer who turns my hand to anything that is needing done and there is always something needing done.

I love Karaoke and am the finest of singers. I do not go on X Factor as there would be no competition. I would win! I am a mum and soon to be blessed with my first grandchild. yippee!

Hi there, my name is Irene and I am the Dundee Office Manager. Apparently I’m the office rotweiller and my hair stands on end when I get stressed! Or at least that’s what all the rest in the office say I’m a big softie really but I just like kidding everyone.

I do lots of jobs at Eighteen And Under including all the boring financial stuff but my very favourite job is eating meringues at Balgowan Court when we do the Senior VIP. Everyone should have a job like that.

We should lobby the government!!!

Hello there my name is Danny and I am the new assistant promotional worker, I started in May this year so I am the rookie here and I am the only Yorkshire lad at 18 & Under. I have just finished studying at Abertay University so now I have a BA degree in marketing and business.

My hobbies and interests are boxing, rugby league and travelling. I have travelled all over the world eating lots of strange animals (so take caution when I am near your lovely pet... yum!). I have lived in Dundee for almost 5 years now and I love the place, its fab!

I have worked for 18u for the past 12 years at a variety of jobs. Currently I am part-time and on maternity leave. I have 2 small daughters, Kaya and Blythe who keep me really busy.

I am into drama, singing and entertaining audiences by appearing in Pantos and other fantastic productions. I am an author and also a poet and when I have spare time (lol) I walk the dog.

Barry is one of the Directors of 18u and is also the Health and Safety officer. Barry works full-time and is a father of 2 small daughters.

Females rule the roost in Barry's house and he is well trained. Barry is into curling and volunteers back stage for Forfar Musical Society.

I am Tracy Murray, one of the directors of 18u.

I have worked as a sheltered housing manager for 6 years.

I have 2 kids age 3 and 8. I enjoy going on holiday either at home or abroad and also enjoy eating out.

Kaya iwas also born in 2007 and has been volunteering since birth. She is keen on drama and acting and will no doubt soon be on stage with the reputable Dundee Junior Showtime crew.

Kaya likes books, toys, animals and everything really.

Kaya is Jaksyn's little cousin and she is keen to have a spin in that red car once Jaksyn aquires it.
