Kev Bagshaw
Chairperson
As the Chairperson of Borderline Arts, Kev ensures that we have regular meetings of the Board of Trustees (often complete with his incredible homemade scones!).
He also helps out at our Educational BPD workshops and with lots of other ad hoc tasks, as and when they crop up and brings expertise from his many years of working in the NHS working to support patients with a diagnosis of BPD/EUPD.
This is extremely valuable in enabling us to provide up to date information about the current NHS services that are available for those with the diagnosis.
