Jacki our chair of trustees wants to let you know, “As a trustee, you can take some of the burden off the CEO’s shoulders by attending events, ensuring DorPIP has a presence, meeting and connecting with other charities and advocating for babies so that they get the best start in life. Also being a trustee enables you to do fun events to raise funds or knock crazy ideas off your bucket list!”
