I am a Trustee, sit on the Retail and Fundraising committees as well as being a volunteer.  

"It has been great to be involved in and see the charity evolve and grow from strength to strength over the years."

How did you get involved?

Initially I became involved with St David’s Hospice Care through work, but since then, I have helped as a volunteer and taken part in many events over the years, including the Three Peaks Challenge, Monmouth Raft Race and the 10,000 steps a day challenge in May. 

How long have you been involved?

About 16 years professionally through work and as a volunteer
and as a Trustee since 2022.  

Best memory of being involved with St David’s Hospice Care?

It has been great to be involved in and see the charity evolve and grow from strength to strength over the years, especially to see the opening of the fantastic facilities at Blackett Avenue. My best memory, however, is probably taking part in our first raft race and halfway down the Wye the raft broke up. As a team we had to get to the end either by walking the riverbank or swimming to the finish. 

What are you doing now?

Busy as ever with the day job of Managing Director of Kymin Financial Services Ltd in Newport.

What best describes St David’s Hospice Care?

A highly professional and ever evolving organisation that is both caring and supportive to its patients and staff. 

What do you enjoy about being involved with St David’s Hospice Care?

It is a privilege to be involved in an organisation that makes such a difference to not only to patients but also to their families at a very difficult time in their lives. Bringing my skills and knowledge of running several businesses to help in the strategic development of the organisation and to help it adapt for the future.
