LOCAL charity We Hear You (WHY) is saying farewell to clinical service manager Cath Wilkins, who has led the charity’s counselling service for children and adults affected or bereaved by cancer since February 2017.
Cath is leaving the charity to take up a new role as counselling service manager at Bath Mind in September and will move on from WHY at the end of the summer.
WHY CEO Lucy Kitchener said, “Cath has overseen a period of enormous growth and change at WHY, both in terms of our service offering and the size of our team, and she has done it with unfailing kindness, generosity and wisdom. She will be very much missed by all of us here and we’d like to say a very public thank you for all Cath’s hard work and insight, ensuring that our hugely valuable services are of the highest quality. Bath Mind is very lucky to have her.”
Cath added, “I have had a very happy and rewarding six and a half years at WHY and I am extremely sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful team of people. There has not been a single day where I have not felt the importance of the work that we do and I continue to be astounded by the courage and resilience of our clients. I am proud of all that we have achieved and hope to continue to support the charity from the side-lines.”
