Angela Jones, Ann Wagstaff, and Neil Braithwaite stepped down from the board of trustees after more than two decades of dedication.

Ms Jones joined the board in 2003 and served as the chair of the fundraising committee, successfully leading multiple fundraising events including summer fetes, Christmas extravaganzas, and fashion shows.
