Ruth Kerr is our fantastic Communications Manager who works tirelessly to keep everyone informed and up to date.

Ruth says:
‘I’m a keeper’s daughter, originally from Dumfries & Galloway, and also lived on estates in Northumberland and the Scottish Borders with my family. I first became involved with GWT as a volunteer back in 2009 and now work several hours a week for them from my home in Hampshire. Most of my work is managing Facebook and Instagram , and I also support one or two other areas of work across the year as needed.
