The local branch of the British Heart Foundation has appointed a new Chair and Treasurer.
Human resources professional Ryan Williams has become Chair, while Charlotte McCann is joining the charity's committee as Treasurer.
Mr Williams currently chairs local drama club, the Jersey Green Room Club; Jersey DIPS (Disabled in Pools) as well as the Performing Arts Development Group.
"I am delighted to join the British Heart Foundation as Chairman and look forward to working with the Committee in building the charity’s presence, whilst fundraising for new vital research," he said. "2020 was certainly a challenging year for all charities, especially with the impact of covid-19 cutting the ability to fund new research for BHF in half.
"The Committee have some new initiatives and ideas for fundraising events, both virtually (for now) and face to face when we get back to some form of normality during 2021.
"I would also like to welcome Charlotte McCann, who joins the Committee as Treasurer. I know with her skills and experience within Business Development will benefit BHF. Let’s beat heartbreak forever."
Ms McCann added: “I look very much forward to working with the Committee to raise awareness of the British Heart Foundation. I am hoping to increase the presence of this charity in Jersey and raising funds for a great cause despite the current environment, with a focus on virtual events and health and wellbeing."
