Ambassador

Bill Tregillus 

Bill has been a long-time supporter of the charity, and retired as our Treasurer, and as a trustee, in 2024 after years of selfless service. The charity was keen to recognise Bill's commitment, and his continued support, so we made him an ambassador, who supports us in whichever way he sees fit during his well-earned retirement.

A new purpose for Sarah

Struggling with health, drugs and historical abuse issues, Sarah started as a volunteer in 2015. Juggling bringing up young children, Sarah gained confidence and skills to such a degree that she was made a full-time employee in 2024, managing Link Power work with the Council, organising family days, and assisting the CEO wherever necessary.
