He acknowledged the challenges ahead and said he was pleased to take over the post at this significant time in the Charity’s development.
Mr Haugh also welcomed the opportunities presented by the forthcoming Strategic Review and the benefits of additional support provided by the recent appointment of the Charity Operations Officer, to help take Family Support Trust forward into the next decade.
