 | Pat Stokes Trustee | I worked for Herefordshire Carers Support for over 9 years as a Carer Support Worker and took the role as Head of Communications for eighteen months before retiring in July 2010. I have an extensive and detailed knowledge of carer's issues and was a carer myself for my mother and father. Since retiring from HCS I have been able to pursue my interests which include getting a little fitter, singing in a Pop choir and as a Therapeutic care volunteer for the Red Cross. However my main objective is to set up a local village "Good Neighbour Scheme". As a trustee I have taken on the lead on volunteering. |
