Leander Stones, the Trust’s former Membership officer and Bank worker has retired after 10 years at the Trust.

Friends and colleagues attended two farewell events  in the Learning Centre at HRI and at Bar 10 on the evening of Friday, 28 August 2015.

She plans to go to Spain, pursue voluntary work  for the Brain Tumour Charity to promote awareness of the condition and offer support to patients and families affected by the condition. Leander underwent surgery in Leeds to remove a brain tumour four  years ago and battled back despite it leaving her paralysed down her left-hand side.

She said: “Leaving the Trust will be a big change for me  as my friends there were very special and I am grateful for all their support and understanding. I am looking forward to my new life after CHFT.”
