Pauline Hinchion

Board Member at FCSS and Executive Director at Scottish Communities Finance Ltd

Hi, my name is Pauline.

In my day job I am the Executive Director at Scottish Communities Finance Ltd. An organisation that helps social and community enterprises to raise investment so they can realise their aspirations and visions for a better society. I have been involved in the third sector for more years than I care to remember, operating at all levels within different organisations.

What matters to me is that people are given the opportunity to be what they want to be. That has to start as early as possible with our children and personal financial situations should not be a barrier to a successful life.

I joined the Board at FCSS for a number of reasons, because they are a social enterprise trying to make life better for people: because they are delivering much needed childcare within communities throughout Scotland: because they are developing new products and services that puts them at the forefront of innovation and IT approaches that meet the needs of parents.

Most people don’t know that I used to be a champion Irish Step Dancer, those were the days!
