Tomorrow marks one year since our much-loved and long-serving volunteer Sheila Brierley sadly died.

Sheila started doing voluntary service years ago first in the library at St Lukes and then in Storthes Hall when it was a Psychiatric Hospital. Her first position, was downstairs at what used to be the going home zone, making tea and coffees for the patients waiting to go home. 

She collected a purple ribbon medal from the Volunteers Association to mark her years and years of service to her local hospital. More than 50 in all.

Our Chair Philip Lewer said: "I was moved and honoured to be part of this unveiling in memory of wonderful Sheila Brierley. Sheila was one of our longest serving and most dedicated volunteers - always there with a smile and offering help to our patients and visitors. Unveiling the plaque in memory of Sheila was a privilege for me."
