Michael Peterson
Position in Huggard: Trustee/Director
Years involved with Huggard: Since 1988
Huggard committees: Council of Management
Brief Description:
I was working as an architectural assistant engaged on housing before working at South Glamorgan Intervol
I assisted in the establishment of a standing committee later known as South Glamorgan Homelessness Forum.
This followed a conference to which all concerned with homelessness were invited, including MP’s, Councillors, Social Workers and representatives of voluntary organisation.
Subsequently the forum acquired the ‘Cabins’ as a temporary shelter for those sleeping rough.
I left Intervol and the Homeless Forum to set up Mid Glamorgan Council for Voluntary Action (MGAVO), but retained my interest with C.A.S.H.
I worked for many years on the Management Committee of South Riverside Community Development Centre, and was both secretary and chairperson at different times. I recently resigned due to ill health.
I retired from teaching in 2003
I have been a member of the United Nations Association for 40 years and was employed for 6 months posting with the UN information office – 1984.
Concerned with global issues of homelessness and poverty.
