Sheila Robinson

Way back in 1981 Sheila was a volunteer adviser at Pitsmoor CAB and was the Deputy Chair of the management committee for a while. Since then she worked for Sheffield Council for 15 years, in a variety of roles.  She has always been a trade union activist (since the mid 1970s) and this led her to working as a Full Time Officer for UNISON for a number of years.  She completed her MA at the University of Warwick, in Industrial relations and Personnel Management. She then worked, up to her retirement, as a tutor at Northern College, teaching adults with no formal qualifications, from the start of their adult learning up to post-graduate level.  She still works as a non-legal (lay) member of the Employment Tribunals, a role she has had for 10 years.

Through her work, her aim has been to empower and support people who are excluded and disadvantaged by society and is proud to have played a part in all these lives.  She is committed to continuing this by putting her skills and time into her work as a CAS Trustee.
