Steve Wragg

Role
Weston Park Cancer Charity Chair of the Board of Trustees

I’ve known Weston Park Cancer Charity all my life, and when I was approached to join the board I jumped at the chance to use my knowledge and skills to be able to help the charity develop, so that it in turn can help those that need support.

Tim Brazier

Role
Managing Director at Thrive by Design

I was lucky enough to get to know the charity while volunteering my time to support the marketing team with the website project back in 2018. I’m now particularly interested in helping the charity to understand how we can use digital technology to enhance the quality and accessibility of our services.

Melinda Schofield

Role
Regional Sales Director, Bauer Media Yorkshire

I became a Trustee in autumn 2022 as I have family and friends who have all been supported by Weston Park, both the hospital and the charity. I see daily the work that the team does to help people across our region.

David Bussue

Role
Service Director for SACMHA Health & Social Care

I was attracted to becoming a Trustee of Weston Park Cancer Charity after meeting CEO, Emma Clarke, during lockdown. We explored how Weston Park Cancer Charity could reach out to more people and be more inclusive in respect of under-served communities.
