As mentioned previously this was in 2003 and previously, Lorna had varied roles in HR and customer care. She enjoys working with over 80 amazing volunteers who make such a difference through the gift of their time, their personal qualities, and determination to make a difference to the people QCCC support.

Lorna returns to her hometown, York, several times a year to visit family and friends and enjoys travelling to warm climates. She loves reading and panics if she hasn't got books in reserve. Time and motivation permitting Lorna dabbles reasonably successfully in basic DIY.
