Ty Gobaith in Conwy has announced that it has appointed four new trustees following on from a recruitment drive just before the Coronavirus pandemic hit.
The hospice along with its parent organisation Hope House offers much needed support to families and children facing an end of life scenario.
One of the new trustees who will be responsible for helping guide the hospice is Andrew Morris an accountant and director of Pritchett & Co Chartered Accountants of Colwyn Bay.
He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accounts and is a Chartered Tax Adviser. Andrew is also the Vice-Chair of Governors at Bodnant Community School in Prestatyn.
The announcement was made earlier by Chair of Trustees Steve Henlys.
Steve said: "The Board of Trustees plays a vital role in making sure that our charity is run in the best interests of the children and families we support. It sets the strategic direction, manages performance and has overall responsibility for the governance of our organisation.
"Our four new members have a wealth of different experiences and come from across the area that Hope House and TÅ· Gobaith serve – Mid and North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire. They join the existing eight board members."
Also appointed to this important role is Gary Morton a West Midlands businessman who has been involved in raising funds for Hope House for 21 years. His organisation, GM Fundraising, has raised more than £2million.
Graeme Harkness is from Mid Wales and is a retired senior educationalist with experience gained as a Headteacher/Executive Principal in four secondary schools across England and Wales.
Kelly Stant from Shropshire is a solicitor and was born and raised in the Oswestry area. She has been a keen supporter of Hope House Children’s Hospices over many years, taking part in events and other fundraising activities.
