Simon Kiteley IT

I try to make things a bit better for people. Having been a foster carer living in a deprived town in a prosperous county, my neighbours are as good as the next man but have not had the same chances in life. I care about people having the opportunities to grow and the security to prosper. CareAbout does this, and they have my support.
