Helen has gained two Masters degrees and, having finished her PhD in neuropsychology, she has begun a research project at the Institute of Psychiatry. Jane read English at Bristol and now, after teaching and working at Jamie's Farm, which gives underprivileged and problem children an valuable opportunity to spend time on a farm, learning new skills and developing some self-esteem, she is undertaking a further teaching qualification in this field. Claire studied Land Management at Reading University and is now a Senior Chartered Surveyor in London.
