Hello and welcome to my April news. I am six weeks into my new role here, and learning lots and excited about our work ahead. This has been a period of transition, with several staff members coming and going. I’d sincerely like to thank outgoing staff Sofya Gollan, Tammy Brennan and Michael Huxley for their outstanding contribution to our organisation, over the last few years, and months, and wish them all the best with their future endeavours.

I’m also excited to introduce our new staff members – Riona Tindal (Deaf Arts Officer), Kay Richardson (Operations Manager) and Jane Easton (Marketing and Communications Manager) – who I know are all looking forward to working with you in the future.
