At the beginning of the year Louise Thomas resigned from the Trustee Board, and I would like to record my personal thanks for her support and practical advice during her term of office. Each Trustee brings a variety of different skills and experience to the role, with some of them getting involved on a more practical, day to day level. This ranges from volunteering at the Women’s Centre, in such things as admin tasks or helping to facilitate training programmes, to assisting with the updating of policies or sitting on interview panels. Many of the Trustees get involved with awareness raising for the organisation, through giving talks and presentations to interested groups, attending conferences and networking with local business and political contacts. I would personally like to thank all of the members of the Trustee Board for their valued enthusiasm, encouragement and support during the year.
