Gillie Sliz is retiring after 11 years of outstanding work as a group therapist, counsellor and deputy manager at the Garden Day Programme, writes Mossie Lyons. 

Thank you, Gillie, for your professional and loving service to all those who have rehabilitated at the Garden Day Programme in your time there.  We wish you a healthy and fulfilling retirement.

Welcome to Simon Woods, our new manager at the Garden Day Programme.  Simon has been with Kairos since 2008: 11 1/2 years at Linden and the last six as group therapist and counsellor at Bethwin Road.  An experienced man, rich in the Kairos ethos, and the right person for the job.  Welcome and good luck, Simon, and be assured of our support in your new role.

And if that is not enough, we say well done to Will Pugh, now elevated to deputy manager.  An old hand at this stage, who does a wonderful job.  Good luck, Will – plaque on its way!
