Wendy Simpson

Charity Co-Ordinator


My name is Wendy Simpson and I am the charity Coordinator for River Kids.

I am married and have two children; they are 19 and 21 so will not thank me for calling them children! I have been involved with fund raising for 15 years, first at my children’s schools and then with Children 1st in Edinburgh. 

I have been involved in various events with Children 1st and helped with Gardening Scotland when Children 1st was the chosen charity.  I have lived in West Lothian for 24 years and feel it is home.

I set up River Kids with Donny Hughes, and I am one of the original trustees.
