Thank you. It’s been an amazing 7 years with a few ups and downs but I feel I am leaving the charity in very safe hands and am delighted to accept the role of Chair of the new Research Committee.
At our AGM last Saturday we bid a formal but fond farewell to our outgoing chair, Dr Wendy Edwards, as she stepped down after 7 years as a trustee: we are absolutely delighted Wendy will be continuing as Chair of our new Research Committee. Thankyou Wendy!

So proud to be Chair of Headlines
Trustees play a vital role volunteering their time and working together to make important decisions about the charity’s work. We have an incredibly committed and hard-working board of trustees, and as we reach the end of Trustees’ Week, we’d like to thank them for all they do👏
