Hampton charity Shooting Star Chase has appointed a new director of care, overseeing the support service for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
Helen Sibley, who has more than 30 years experience in nursing and healthcare, takes over from departing director of care Elaine Conisbee this January.
Ms Sibley said: "I’m excited to join Shooting Star Chase, not only because of my passion and experience in this field but also because of how impressed I’ve been with the professionalism and dedication of the staff.
"They really do make a difference to the lives of the children and families going through extremely difficult times and I couldn’t ask for a better framework to start this role."
