South Yorkshire charity, Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, has confirmed the addition of four new trustees who joined their board this month.

The trustees, who all dedicate their free time to the roles, are expected to play a vital part in ensuring that Bluebell Wood continues to support families who are going through the most difficult times.

It is hoped that their combined expertise will broaden and enhance the already highly skilled and experienced team of trustees at the North Anston based hospice.

Chair of Trustees Kath Henderson said: “I am really pleased to welcome Scott, Sally, Richard and Liz to Bluebell Wood and to working with them as we invest and develop to continue providing the very best care and support for children and families who depend on our services. All four bring different yet complementary experience to the board, which is essential in continuing best practice in every aspect of the care and service we provide for the children and young people with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions at the hospice and in the wider community.
