The period following the Covid-19
pandemic has presented significant
challenges for trustees dedicated to patient
care within the demanding environment of
the NHS, understandably limiting the
capacity for undertaking charitable
activities. We are pleased to report that
communication has been re-established
with the executive committee members,
and plans are now underway to
recommence the charity's activities.
A trustees’ meeting has taken place,
and advertising for the new trustee
team will commence shortly
