Tracy Rendall
Trustee
SNAC Vice Chair
A mum of four. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with JIA in 2007 just before she turned 2. The following year a group of parents began meeting to discuss how we could connect with other JIA families – the result was SNAC!
Michael Kent
Trustee
SNAC Treasurer
Dad of three adult kids, my youngest son developed Systemic JIA aged 8. We went to Crieff with SNAC a year later and it helped enormously. My wife joined the committee later that year and I followed in 2012. I’m currently the treasurer but am best known for my IT and technical skills!
I am also currently the only dad on the committee–hint hint!
Anna Sherriffs
Trustee
Anna is our first young person with JIA to join our board of Trustees.
Since diagnosis of JIA at age 3, I have always been involved with SNAC and recently joined as a trustee to try and help out the wonderful charity further. SNAC has given me so much over the years and I am now lucky enough to give something back!
Jenni Catto
Cardiac nurse and mum to a son with JIA.
I joined the SNAC committee as I was so impressed by all that SNAC do and I wanted to give back. I have met such lovely people, and my family love SNAC events.
Fiona Craig
Based just outside Glasgow, I am point of contact for that area and currently child protection lead for SNAC.
My son has had JIA since 2012 and I want to support families the way SNAC supported mine.
Gillian Dougan
I live in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute. I wanted to get involved with the SNAC committee so that I could give them something back for all the help and support my family has had since my daughter was diagnosed with JIA in 2017 and to help other families going through the same thing .
Lois Freeland
Mum of a 7 year old boy with arthritis (diagnosed age 3) and a daughter, 9. Joined the committee in 2019 after reaching out to SNAC for support and attending some educational events. Inspired by the children and their families we have met, the team juggling committee roles with work and family life, and the sense of community that has been established in Scotland.
Kirstin Weir
Fun loving, busy stay-at-home mum of 4. My daughter was diagnosed with JIA at 15 months and uveitis when 4.
I love supporting SNAC–it’s such a fab charity, and it has really made a difference to Rosanna and our whole family.
