The SGS Management Team consists of 10 volunteers...
Meet the Team
Suzanne Simpson
Chairperson
I live in Aberdeen with my greyhound Dudley and whippet Esme. I have had hounds all my life and have been involved with SGS for a number of years now. It’s a privilege to be involved with this wonderful rescue. We all work hard to give these very special dogs the life they deserve. These dogs are so adaptable and forgiving and make the best companions anyone could wish for.
Emma MacLeod
Vice Chair
My husband and I live in Fife. We have been involved in fostering and volunteering for SGS for several years now. It's hugely rewarding taking in a dog to foster and helping them flourish into wonderful pets. I am part of the rehoming team looking for great homes for our dogs. We lost our last greyhound, Isla, earlier this year.
Lorraine Baker
Treasurer
I live in Glasgow with my family. We have had a number of sighthounds adopted and fostered over the last 12 years or so but sadly none at the moment. Being the treasurer keeps me busy and I love helping find homes for dogs along the way.
Kirsteen Campbell
Secretary
I live in the Highlands with my husband and our four rescued greyhounds, Ozzy, Paddy, Sally & Chrissy. We rescued our first greyhound from SGS in 2014 and ever since then we’ve been hooked! We love to go on adventures with our dogs and being involved with SGS means we get to meet lots of other greyhounds and lurchers! My role in the team mainly involves all things admin and assisting in rehoming and fostering.
Jacqueline Brown
Website, Graphic Design and other bits n bobs
I've been around dogs for most of my life, but my first greyhound didn't come along until 2006. I quickly learned that greyhounds are the most gentle, beautiful, loving creatures, yet they suffer horrendously in this world. I am currently owned by 11 year old Sasha, 5 year old Katie and new addition Luna the lurcher. I joined the SGS Team in 2016 and at the moment I deal mostly with the website, tech and graphic design side of things as well as events. I'm honoured to be part of such a wonderful charity.
Janice Reid-Foster
Fostering and Rehoming
Rescuing dogs was a family thing, my parents rescued their first dog Spot in Persia and took him down to Kenya where we farmed. More waifs and strays joined the family and that has been the pattern all my life. About 18 years ago I rescued my first lurcher and after having 3 of these amazing dogs alongside a mixed bunch of water spaniels, GSDs and an English Setter, I adopted Lucy greyhound from the SGS. The rest is history and we have had many adopted and fostered hounds since then. Helping the team to rehome these wonderful dogs is a way of saying thank you for the pleasure our dogs give us. The bonus is making great friends through SGS.
Judith Forrest
Fostering and Rehoming
After years of having Labs and an English Setter, because I thought you couldn’t have hounds with cats in the house, my daughter-in-law, who had fostered and volunteered for SGS, finally showed me it is possible, so eight years ago, SGS found us beautiful Jura, who happily cuddled up with our three cats. She was joined two years later by Charlie, so we became a two lurcher family. Sadly, we lost Jura to cancer, but we soon welcomed Fraser, a sparky young saluki lurcher. We live within sight of the Campsie Fells.
Over the years I have been very grateful for the brilliant advice and help offered by the team of experienced SGS volunteers and have learned a huge amount from them. I was really chuffed to be invited to join the team. I think of my contribution as representing newer hound friends and being able to ask the daft questions!
Lorna Smith
Walks, Fostering and Rehoming
I recently became part of the SGS team and usually lead walks in Central Scotland as well as helping with fostering and the adoption side of the charity. I have a beautiful black greyhound called Sadie who came to us in February following the loss of our beautiful big black boy Robin, in November last year.
I am looking forward to getting to know more of the greyhound family and getting involved in all things SGS.
