Via celebrates new Trustee appointments during Volunteers’ Week

Via is marking this year’s Volunteers’ Week by welcoming our five newest Trustees to our Board and celebrating the contribution of all Board members who have joined the organisation over the past year. 

Jennifer Aikman, Heather Cook, Claire Denton, Dr Heather Noble and Dr Charles Young are the latest appointments to join Via’s Board of Trustees, bringing additional expertise from across healthcare, clinical governance, legal, digital health, and human resources. 

They join Chair, Charles Waddicor and fellow Trustees appointed during the last 12 months as part of a significant recruitment drive to further strengthen and refresh Via’s governance and leadership. 

As volunteers, Via’s Trustees play a vital role in supporting our mission to provide the best health and wellbeing support to as many people as possible, helping individuals change their lives for the better. 

Anna Whitton, CEO at Via, said: “Volunteers’ Week is the perfect opportunity to recognise the enthusiasm and expertise our Trustees bring to Via. We are delighted to welcome our newest Board members and to celebrate the dedication of our whole Board. Their collective experience and insight are helping us to continue to grow our impact as well as supporting our organisational ambitions for the future.” 

Charles Waddicor, Chair of Via’s Board of Trustees, said: “Our Trustees bring a wide range of perspectives and professional expertise, united by a shared commitment to Via’s mission and values. I’m very pleased to welcome our newest Trustees to the Board and grateful to all of them for the time, energy and leadership they volunteer to support the organisation.” 

Over the past year, Via has welcomed a number of new Trustees to its Board, including specialists in healthcare, finance, housing, digital solutions, development, community engagement, innovation, lived experience, and organisational leadership.
