“I have held several positions in top football club management and in the third sector for over 25 years. With responsibilities for day-to-day management, strategic planning, funding and uplifting lives. I work closely with funders and policymakers to embed dignity in practice as we improve lives of those seeking sanctuary in Scotland and overseas. We believe in lived experience-led responses to deliver and achieve the much needed support for the people impacted by our work."
Treasurer
For the past three years, Sedia has played a key role in the impactful projects led by the Food for All Group 
—supporting local food banks through workshops designed to better understand and meet the needs of people seeking asylum.
Working alongside a team of experts with lived experience, Sedia has helped co-produce vital educational resources that:
Raise awareness of the barriers faced when accessing food support
Encourage culturally appropriate food options (including halal choices)
Provide practical cooking guidance for those unfamiliar with local ingredients
This work not only promotes dignity and inclusion 
but also helps reduce unintentional food waste 
and supports smoother settlement and integration into Scottish communities.
Sedia strongly believes that **everyone deserves dignified access to food**—and that even small, thoughtful actions can create meaningful, lasting impact 
.
