Graeme is the Founder and a Director of Hope Trust.

​

He was actively involved as a counsellor for the first 8 years of the Trust's existence.

 

Shortly after Graeme was accredited as a counsellor he saw a newspaper headline which announced, ‘9 Suicides in 9 weeks in Roscommon.’ This stirred him to do some research into suicide and subsequently to launch ‘Choose Life’ in an effort to raise coping with thoughts of suicide, self-harm or depression. These DVDs have been ordered by over 300 secondary schools around the country, mainly for use in religion and SPHE classes.

         

Graeme has written a booklet, ‘Making Sense of Life, when it hurts’, for young people struggling to cope with their inner pain and find a meaningful purpose to life. He has also written and produced ‘Journey to Wellness’ – a guide to spiritual health, which tells the stories of some people who were suicidal but have found an alternative way through their problems to a life that is worth living. More recently he has authored and published two books called "Angels in Our Terriority", God's messengers to help us and "But God sent an Angel".

​

Graeme is happily married to Frances and is living in Toulouse, France.  He remains a Director of Hope Trust as well as Harvest France and is actively involved in prayer, discipling and teaching in the Occitanie region.

 

They have four grown-up children and five grandchildren.
