Mr John Hinman
Following 20 years as a College lecturer in Business Studies I changed to a career in the voluntary sector and then for 16 years was in full time employment with the NSPCC. Since early retirement in 2011 on health grounds I have gradually increased my involvement in faith based social action projects. I am a trustee of Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland and represent the Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough and have also had an involvement with MAP for several years.
I am a founder member of Investors in People and Culture, another charity concerned with the welfare of refugees and asylum seekers.
The opportunity to continue supporting MAP is a worthy challenge, especially as MAP has established effective relations with so many other networks and agencies in the Tees Valley area. I know that the work of MAP is highly valued and I would welcome the opportunity to assist such vital work.
