Helen Morgan, who joins the charity from the finance industry, is taking over from Paul Berks who retired at the end of March.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to work with Paul who has provided significant support to the charity’s success since shortly after its formation in 2013, and we wish him many years of happy retirement spending more time with his family,” a spokesperson for the charity said.

“[Miss Morgan brings with her many transferable skills gained from this and from volunteering in the third sector. We look forward to working with her to continue and grow the work of the charity.”
