Speaking about the appointment, Judy said: “I enjoy being a CA volunteer, attending Open Days and taking calls on the telephone Helpline and much more. I am winding down other charity organisations I have been involved with such as a local Alzheimer’s support and social group, committee member for a centre for the elderly, PPG representative at my local surgery and CCG member representing same. I will continue with our local successful stoma support group.

“The CA is such a successful organisation which I feel passionate about and it is for that reason I asked to be considered to become a Trustee.”
