summarise concisely and move through an agenda swiftly! We have been delighted to welcome Derek Gifford to our Board of Trustees. Derek was formally co-opted in March, after attending a few meetings as an observer. As ever, we are continuing to seek additional Trustees to augment the expertise and experience that we already have. The Trustees would like to thank our very loyal and hardworking staff and volunteers for their continued commitment and loyalty throughout the year. On behalf of the Board, I would like to pay tribute to Ralph Hayward, who has so ably chaired CHA over the last 3 years. Ralph took the decision to step down as Chair in November 2011, although we are delighted that we continue to retain his knowledge and expertise as a Trustee. I would also like to thank my colleague Trustees who continue to work exceptionally hard for CHA, and for their support to me in my new role as Chair. Lorna Fielker
