Isobel Grigor

My Job: My job is to lead the Calman service, to help us keep improving what we offer young people and to plan for the future. 
Happiest when: With people I'm comfortable with, who know me well, and when Rangers are winning. 
Scared of: Not much - comes with growing older, I think.
Music I like: I listen to music a lot.  I guess I like music that tells a story I can connect with, so (you need a good memory for some of these) Beth Neilsen Chapman, Van Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Billy Joel, plus most sacred or classic music, and Scottish folk.
Favourite Films: When I see a film I like I tend to remember it forever, so The Jungle Book, Babette's Feast and Apollo 13. 
Things that annoy me: Nothing I can think of - life's too short.
Things I couldn’t live without: Relationships that I can depend on; my faith, family, friends, plus assorted cats and dogs - and things to do that feel worth doing.  Great colleagues.  At weekends, breakfast in bed with a good book.  Strawberries - anytime.

Ferga Perry - Training Team Leader

My Job: I work with the whole Calman Team, trying to make sure that the young people involved in Calman get as good a service as we can possibly deliver.  I'm based in Alness and Inverness, and I am like the glue between the housing support and the training side of Calman. 
Happiest when: I'm up a mountain on a sunny day with friends, my dog and an amazing picnic with cake and delicious sandwiches and chocolate and ginger beer. 
Scared of: Really embarrassed about this - pretty much the only thing I'm scared of is the dark!!  I wish I could say heights, or spiders, or dogs but it's not true.  Actually, scary films terrify me but only because it's dark in the cinema, honest!! 
Music I like: I'm into a really bizarre mix of loads of different types of music.  John Martyn's probably my favourite artist if I had to pick one. 
Favourite Films: I love The Princess Bride and Baraka, for totally different reasons.  Baraka is amazingly beautiful and powerful and moving at the same time - it's loads of different shots of places and people from all over the world.  The Princess Bride is just silly! 
Things that annoy me: When people don't do things they've promised to do. 
Things I couldn’t live without: I hate being in places where there are no trees or hills.  I'd also struggle if my climbing and camping stuff got taken away and I was never allowed out to play.

Andrew Nixseaman - Acting Operations Manager 

My Job: I try to link up with other agencies, and the Local Authority to make sure that the work that we do meets the needs of the people using the service, as well as fitting into the wider environment.
Happiest when: Most of the time really, I am fairly easily pleased.  I like sitting about with friends and family,
having too much to eat and blethering into the
wee small hours.
Scared of: Birds in confined spaces that flap around irrationally.  Also scared of jumping into water - I don't mind diving, but your nostrils point in the wrong direction to make jumping a sensible move - trust me - don't do it.
Music I like: Bit of a sad oldie, like the Stones, the Beatles, Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, Aretha Franklin, Janice Joplin, and most reggae.
Favourite Films: The Usual Suspects, When Harry Met Sally, the first three Star Wars films (episodes 4, 5 & 6), and the first two Godfather films.
Things that annoy me: Lots of things - Post Offices that take a half day.  Marks & Spencers, road signs that are far too big and light up with stupid messages like 'This sign is not in use', private dentists, crimpoline, Last of the Summer Wine, The Smiths, tax exiles...and there's alot more!
Things I couldn’t live without:  Marmite, Guinness, bubble wrap, my bike, my wife and my children but not necessarily in that order.  I also use a lot of Tippex and would struggle to get by without it!
