Karen McIntyre

Community and Partnerships Manager

As well as managing the Community And Voluntary Action Team, I support various collaborative cross-sector initiatives in Health, Employability, Financial Inclusion and Children & Young People’s services. I chair RACA (Renfrewshire Affordable Credit Alliance), co-chair Renfrewshire HSCP’s Strategic Planning Group and am on the steering group for Our Children (Renfrewshire CYP forum), and attend plenty other working groups and fora.

I believe that working together is key to any success. One of the highlights of this job is supporting cross-sector communications, networking and planning to make sure that the voluntary sector is acknowledged as a critical partner in improving life in Renfrewshire. Developing solid relationships and achieving outcomes through partnership working is what Engage, and this role, is about.

If I’m not in the office I’ll be out walking.
