The Friends of the Doncaster Museums
Meet the Trustees
Introducing
Jill Chiddey
Hi my name is Jill Chiddey, Events Coordinator. I am married with 2 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. I am a retired teacher who began my career in 1976 teaching Food Technology in a mainstream comprehensive school in Rotherham. I went on to teach students with special needs in Doncaster where I happily worked until I retired in 2020.
My interests include: crafting (as those who attended our Christmas social will know) shopping (particularly charity shops) socialising (involving numerous café visits) and generally enjoying life in retirement after 45 years of working.
I enjoy my role as a trustee for FODM and have loved meeting all the members in a variety of situations. I hope, with the activities planned for this year, that I will get to meet many more of you.
Christine Djezzar
