She heads up our Bereavement Support Services and Community and Volunteering  teams and holds a wealth of experience in frontline service provision having successfully setup services in hospitals, children’s hospices and the community.

She’s passionate about working with families to support them through the hardest time of their lives, to give them meaningful choices whenever possible and to ensure consistent, high quality services are available..
