Marian founded Extratime with the charity’s first Director, Becky Jenner, and remains passionate about the right of all children and young people to play and have fun, regardless of the support and care they need. Marian is the main carer for her son Joseph who has a rare genetic condition, KCNH1 Disorder. They enjoy going for walks and looking at plants and trees and all the things that Joseph finds interesting.

Marian was employed as Extratime’s Community Fundraiser from 2014. She left to join the management committee as a trustee in 2018.

Marian also enjoys going to the cinema, socialising and running (slowly).
