District Chairman
District Chairman Julia Roberts
Welcome
Hi, I’m Julia and I moved to Galashiels nearly 9 years ago. Previously I’ve moved around the UK but when I got the chance to retire I decided to follow family roots and move to the Borders. I spent many years working in the NHS though I originally studied for a history degree. I have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren between 7 and 9 months.
When you move in later life it’s harder to get to know the folk around you so when I saw an article about our local Inner Wheel I decided to see what it was like. I was immediately made to feel very welcome and enjoyed being a part of the group. Unfortunately we soon went into lockdown during Covid but the monthly zoom meetings were a huge boost at such a lonely time. Soon I became more involved as ISO and later club vice & president.
Outwith Inner Wheel I’m involved in my local Ramblers group and I love getting out into the hills in our beautiful Borders scenery. I also enjoy gardening - a good year for broad beans but terrible for raspberries! When I can I enjoy spending time with my family but they’re widely spread geographically so it’s not that often.

Who we support
As your Chairman, my chosen charity for this year will be PAPYRUS, supporting Association President Pat's chosen charity
The International charity remains as Mary's Meals
There is gender inequality in education around the world, but by providing daily meals in school, we remove one hugely significant barrier for girls, giving them opportunities that they otherwise may not have.
