Our deepest thanks

Carol Banham has been our Chairman for over 20 years. As she steps down we would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest thanks for her leadership and dedication to our charity and to the Home itself.

Carol has provided essential stability and focus for the Friends’ work throughout this time having been involved in the evolution of the charity right from its inception. Her belief in education for all, combined with her dedication to caring for others has been a driving force behind her work with the Friends.

Her time with the Friends has covered a very turbulent period for the Home and she has provided invaluable support to fundraisers around the UK as she speaks about the Home. She has visited the Home on several occasions and run many fundraising events herself with the support of her husband Don. This is in addition to running the lucrative Christmas card sale each year which alone has raised thousands of pounds over the years.

Through regular contact with the Home, Carol’s newsletters have given us a very clear picture of what is going on for the children and all those who care for them and raised our awareness of where focus could go for Friends development projects.

Her commitment and tireless dedication over the years has made an immeasurable impact on the lives of the children and carers our charity supports.

Carol, while we will miss your leadership, we look forward to continuing to benefit from your wisdom and support as a trustee, ensuring continuity of support for both us and the Home. We wish you well.
