Please join us in welcoming our newest team member, Ande (ande@fastforward.org.uk). Ande joins the team as Project Officer.

Originally from the Scottish Borders, Ande now lives in Midlothian. Ande has a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Sexual and Reproductive Health, both from Queen Margaret University.

Before undertaking her role within the Going Forward team, Ande has worked as a high school tutor for ELTI and more recently as a youth worker for Children 1st. Ande’s role as a youth worker saw her engaging with children and families affected by substance misuse. In a voluntary capacity, Ande has experience delivering comprehensive sex education lessons with Sexspression in secondary schools across Edinburgh.

Through Ande’s previous experience, she has developed a passion for facilitating meaningful change for young people and is excited to continue pursuing this work with Fast Forward.

In her spare time Ande enjoys swimming, cooking, seeing friends and most importantly playing netball! Ande plays club netball in Edinburgh and is a qualified UKCC level one netball coach.
