All change at CMP

Following the departure of long-serving team member, Anthea Rastall, we are pleased to announce two new appointments to the CMP team.

Cheryl Parsons has joined us as Events Support Assistant. Cheryl will be a familiar face to many as she has volunteered at a number of CMP events - the Twilight, the annual Quiz, the Celebration Breakfast - over the past two years. In the sort term, Cheryl is taking the lead on the organisation of the Movie Quiz in November at Farnborough International. Thereafter, Cheryl will be supporting the programme of corporate volunteer days and Community Minds before taking responsibility for the spring Golf Day.

Hannah Breen will be taking on the role of Fundraising Events Coordinator, taking over the organisation and future development of our annual flagship fundraiser, the Twilight Runway Challenge at Blackbushe Airport.

Hannah has a background in design and marketing, as well as extensive experience in project/event management and B2B networking.

Both Cheryl and Hannah will work on a part-time basis and term-time only.

'Anthea will of course be missed having worked so hard on key CMP projects over the past 6/7 years. But the time was right for her to move on to a different role - we thank her for all her efforts on behalf of the Charity and wish her well as she begins the next stage of her career.' said Simon Jarvis, CEO.

Paul Edwards, Chair of Trustees, added: 'In Cheryl and Hannah I am confident that we are moving forward, building on the foundations we've established at CMP. They are wholly behind our ambitions for CMP and our partners, as we work together in the community.

We have been fortunate to have recruited two very able people who bring a wealth of skills, experiences and qualities which fit CMP brilliantly. Both will, I'm sure, quickly make their mark and establish positive relationships with our Members and many supporters. They are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm which will doubtless take the Charity into exciting new directions.

On behalf of the CMP team of Trustees and staff, welcome aboard Cheryl and Hannah!'
