Everyone who attended both events had a great time!

A huge thanks to all who attended and a special thank you to all our amazing staff who gave up their free time this weekend to help spread some Christmas Cheer!

Trustee Vacancies
We're looking to recruit Trustees who have experience of using our services and other Health and Social Care services. In addition, we are looking to supplement and add to the skills already held by current Board members in order that we can have a succession plan in place to ensure the charity maintains the core skills needed as existing members come to the end of their tenure.
In particular we are looking for Trustees who have knowledge of Finance, Governance, Health and Social Care issues, IT and Social Media and political issues.

For an informal discussion, please email our Chief Executive Duncan Hearsum duncan@dial-a-journey.org
