This morning I had a very positive introductory discussion with the recently appointed new CEO of Citizens Advice Reigate and Banstead, Lynn Hannah. Lynn brings to the role a wealth of relevant experience in the voluntary sector, including recent leadership of Citizens Advice South West Surrey. I anticipate she will be a significant asset to Citizens Advice Reigate and Banstead (CARBS) and look forward to working with her over the next few months and commending her organisation to my successor.
It was helpful to hear about the ongoing financial challenges CARBS face and the need for raising awareness around this vital service which works tirelessly to support my constituents in times of need. It was refreshing to hear her appreciation of the importance of the success of the Community Fund for Reigate and Banstead and to all the different organisations concerned with helping the clients who use CARBS services.
Lynn Hannah deserves every success and I look forward to working with her.
