I have been in office since Margaret Hall (founder member) retired in 2009. I was born in Plymouth and spent most of my formative years there. I moved to Surrey for 5 years in 1980 for my husband’s career, returning to Torpoint in 1985 where my parents lived. I started working with the NHS in 1987 and with that the founder members of CHAT. When they started forming the organisation in November 1999 I came on board as a Co-ordinator to do the administration and here began my journey with CHAT.
