Features

After staying in one of our mental health assessment units, Luke tells his story about how he found the strength to carry on, and about how his time within our services inspired him to use his experience to help others.

This news is certainly something to be celebrated, as it means fewer people than ever continue to smoke in the East Riding and fewer babies are being born with significant risk of SIDS and other concerns, as a result of parents who smoke. 

Governor Profile

Each month we will be sharing a profile of our one of our Governors.

Governors give up their time voluntarily and have an important role to hold the non-executive directors to account for the performance of the Board of Directors and to represent the interests of the members of the Foundation Trust as a whole and the interests of the public.

This month Staff Governor, William Taylor tells us why he wanted to volunteer to help staff and service users.

If you want to learn more about the Governors or are interested in applying for a vacancy if there are any available, please contact the Membership Office on 01482 389132.
