The Trustees: Sheila Parsonson MBE - Trustee and our original founder
who set up the charity in 1974 together with the late George Charles. She was awarded the MBE in the Queen's Golden Jubilee
Honours in 2002 for her services to animal welfare. Sheila has not been in such good health since summer 2004. Unfortunately
Sheila has been ill again this year, and celebrated her 84th birthday in hospital in May 2010. She was re-admitted to hospital
in June 2010, and after a fall downstairs she was moved into a nursing home. At the time of writing (July 2010) she is
seriously ill in hospital after being re-admitted again.
Sandra - a Trustee since
1996, Sandra co-ordinates and organises the stalls, and does all the refreshments etc for our events, ie. Spring
Fayre, Summer Garden Party, and Christmas Fayre.
Mandy - a Trustee since September
2000, Mandy does the gardening at the Sanctuary, and general administration, including microchipping/homing
records, Lottery Club, Friends of Colchester Cat Rescue, the Charity Shop, emails and website.
Patricia
- a Trustee from September 2006, Patricia is also our welfare officer and monitors all the 100+ cats' general
welfare. She also does follow up calls to anyone rehoming a cat/kitten, and the ordering of supplies for the Sanctuary.
These are our current management team but we have a devoted band of volunteers who help with running the large
site at the Sanctuary in Bromley Road and the Charity Shop in Eld lane, Colchester. Without the hard work, kindness
and generosity of our helpers we would not be able to achieve as much as we do. They include Judith Sibley who is
the membership secretary of our Lottery Club and also Friends of Colchester Cat Rescue, also Nigel Sibley who produces our
stationery, eg. our information leaflets, etc
