Who is Vivienne Mary Woolston, Director of Thursday's Child?

I was born in Brighton the daughter of Geoffrey and Gabrielle Woolston. My early years living in Haywards Heath, Sussex. My parents had a business in the local community and I most certainly inherited the business acumen and creative flair from them equally. I left school at 16 and moved rapidly into the world of business including sales and marketing. My thirst for learning blossomed as soon as I left school! I gained one qualification after another in the subjects that most interested me - management, marketing, training and fundraising. Indeed for the past fourteen years I have worked in the charity sector. Following five years as Marketing & Fundraising Director for a charity in Hampshire I decided to go "free lance" as from the 1st October 2005 to give me the opportunity to further create this major event.

I have a strong belief in God and an immense passion for man-kinds alternative views regarding their creator. The most interesting conversations I have tend to involve what people's faith views are. Indeed I laugh in the face of people who consider it is not polite to discuss politics or religion! My recent travels have included the Caribbean, Goa and Northern Ireland. What fabulous discussions! Indeed recently at a luncheon I encountered those from many different faiths. I can't recall the meal... but I recall the conversation!

My view is how wonderful it would be just to understand and respect each other.
