Staff changes at RREF

It is with regret that RREF announces the departure of Laura Coates who has decided to return to the charity sector and will be working for the International Spinal Research Trust as a Donor Manager. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Laura for all her hard work over the past year and we wish her success in her new role.

Further to this, we are delighted to welcome Gill Kemp as the new Events and Alumni Relations Manager. Gill comes to us with a background in events management and fundraising and will be in post from 5 December.
