Farewell to Kim

"When I first started working for FOWA in 2004 there were three of us in the office. Now, staff numbers have tripled. I have a profound respect for the professionalism and dedication of the hardworking staff. I will miss working with them as a team. "

Over these past years, Kim’s taken on an assortment of different roles. Beginning as Membership Coordinator, Kim helped administer memberships, sorting applications in the Great Oak Hall with an army of volunteers. At the same time, she was instrumental in developing an events programme in the Great Oak Hall, organising weddings and facilitating some truly wonderful and unique events.

With her 15 years’ experience working for Barclays International, Kim ultimately became Finance Co-ordinator extraordinaire, meticulously keeping track of every penny raised for the charity.

Kim has been an essential part of the Friends team and will be sorely missed by all of us. We’ll never forget her silly hats at Christmas parties and her famous stuffed dates. We wish her the best of luck!
