"As a busy full time manager of a nursing and social care home based in Richmond I have to be very selective about what groups and committees I can practically commit to. However I had no hesitation in seeking active involvement with the Richmond LINk because I strongly believe in the need to engage with local stakeholders of health and social care services. Ultimately, we all want to receive appropriate and accessible, quality care services provided by people who listen and who have compassion and I hope to be part of a team of people seeking to promote local interests with the intention of making a real difference."

"I first heard about the LINk from its former chair. Having been involved for my whole career in the clinical side of care I know how important it is that peoples views and experiences are represented and listened to by the people who plan and give the care they need. I’m a Trustee of Richmond Carers Centre, and a carer myself, so I thought it was important to bring the knowledge and experience this has given me to the LINk."
