Dr Bain has been a trustee to the National Tremor Foundation having co-founded the charity with Professor Leslie Findley, to facilitate knowledge of tremors, research into tremor and the care of people living with tremors.

My sincere hope is that over the next few years the National Tremor Foundation will grow to become a strong and positive force in the lives of people with tremor.

After retiring from a long career in Financial Services, I became the principle fundraiser for the Foundation. Within this time I have worked on a wide range of initiatives for the foundation, and have raised over £400,000 since 2009. In addition to these successes, I also manage the general office routine. 

My interest in tremor grew after learning about the work of Peter Bain and Professor Findley. Since then I have been an active member of the board and helping the foundation grow.

I am really excited about the future of the foundation and look forward to expanding on my work and identifying further opportunities.

I have had essential tremor since I was in my 20s. However at the beginning of 2014 I discovered March was ‘ET awareness month’ and since then I have been running the London and South East Support group and taken every opportunity to raise and spread awareness of tremor, through talks and events. I have now been appointed Support Group Coordinator and I look forward 'to helping the NTF move forward through new challenges'.

As a qualified digital marketing strategist, I bring over a decade of expertise of working with charities and universities to create impactful marketing campaigns and websites.

From personal experience with having essential tremor within my own family, I empathise with the challenges it presents to individuals and those around them.

These are exciting times to get involved in the NTF. It’s great to see the NTF develop and progress whilst making a difference to people’s lives.

I am an RAF nurse who on leaving, joined the NHS. I left in 2015, after 21 years of working in a busy A & E department.

I then went to work for Citizens Advice putting my admin skills to good use.

Throughout this role, I put together conferences big and small, in person meetings and virtual events.

I left in 2021 and have worked for a variety of businesses including building a haematology lab, putting the administrative structure in place and ensuring that key Standards of Operation were put in place. And for an Ophthalmology clinic putting in training and ensuring that GDPR was maintained and that a new CRM system was embedded.

This year I completed my HND in Business and Administration.

I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone and dealing with the administrative side of the charity.
