As I plan the third stage of my life, I realise how fortunate I have been to spend the last 23 years working for Parliament and am so grateful to everyone that has supported me along the way. I include my thanks also, to the support of everyone who has donated when attending a mindfulness course, raising funds for Haven House along the way.

So, I would like the customary retirement collection to be donated to Haven House to help them continue the much needed and appreciated work that has supported hundreds of families, looking after children and young people, from birth, who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Thank you so much. Take care Loraine :)
