My name is Yvonne McCrory, I joined McFarlane Trust in March 2024. I’m the Admin Assistant at Head Office in Paisley. I was made to feel welcome from everyone at Head Office, Service Managers and wider team.

Being a mum of one, I was looking for a job which helped prioritise my role as a mother, but still made me feel like I was doing some good in the world. McFarlane Trust has done just that! Within my role I do a wide range of tasks, every day is a new adventure from thinking up competitions and activities for the people we support, to filing paperwork, organising training for the staff or helping with other tasks in and out of the office. I have had the privilege of getting out of the office to visit the services and the people we support.  

I have been made to feel welcome in all the services and people are always happy to help. When I visited Lyoncross, Caroline showed me around her house with great pride. You can feel the love and respect throughout the houses, which is an amazing feeling. 

McFarlane trust is one big family with amazing support. I feel so lucky to be working with this organisation!
