Simon Thomas

I am 51 years old and live in Roslin, near Edinburgh. I have been Goods-flow/Market Hall Replenishment Co-worker in the Logistics Department at IKEA Edinburgh since 2012. I teach English on a part-time voluntary basis and my working background is in Community Arts and Social Inclusion within the Civil Service. I’ve been married for 21 years and my hobbies and interests include travelling, photography, circus skills and walking, usually with our dog, Django. I feel very honoured and privileged to have been selected for this trip and to see, first-hand, the work of one of the fantastic charities supported by the IKEA Foundation.
