Vice - Chairperson

Margaret has been a director of LCC for 20 years. She originally worked in Community Development and heritage research.

She lives in a thatched cottage in Belcoo and cared for her father who was bed-bound for 17 years. This has led to her interest in the work of LCC.

Company Secretary

Lucia has enjoyed being on the LCC board of directors for the last 15 years. She has worked as a GP in Enniskillen for the past 20 years. Lucia is married with 5 children and enjoys keeping fit and active by running, cycling & karate.

Director

Noel McAllister is originally from Warrenpoint and was educated at Newry Grammar School and the Open University.

He finished a 40 year career with Northern Bank in 2012 and was keen to give something back to a health service which looked after his mother in her final years.

A keen walker, he is a member of Fermanagh Ramblers, a beekeeper and is interested in brass bands locally.

Helping Lakeland Community Care to improve the health and wellbeing of older people in the west of the province is now a major driver for Noel going forward.

Director

Neil Ferguson has over 40 years experience as a solicitor in a private practice in Lisnaskea. For the last 10 years he has also been a director of LCC, a role he finds very rewarding.

During that time, he has seen the Charity embark upon a period of expansion, move into new premises and generally provide greater assistance for the more vulnerable members of the local community and would like to think that he has played a small part in that.

Director

Louise has a background in medical research, working for 5 years at the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. On moving to Fermanagh, Louise has been involved in a number of community and voluntary organisations, both at board level and as a voluntary member.

Louise has worked for several years in Fermanagh and Omagh District council community services department, in a number of roles and has been seconded for a year to the Department of Finance to help with a community based project. Louise has recently taken up post as Operations Manager for Early Years, covering the Western and Northern Trust areas.
