Susan was born and grew up in Scotland before moving to Northallerton in 1992. She worked for the NHS for more than 30 years - 22 of those with South Tees Hospitals. 
Susan has two grown up children who were both born at the Friarage. Her husband, mother and father have all been treated at the Friarage and always had excellent medical and nursing care. She's a member of the United Reformed Church in Northallerton and, with her husband, dances with the Northallerton Caledonian Society.  She became a trustee with the Friends of the Friarage in 2015 and regularly volunteers in the Friarage shop. 

Born 1955 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, I spent most of my working life in the Midlands before taking early retirement and relocating to Northallerton. My former careers include pharmaceuticals as a Medical Representative for CIBA-GEIGY a large multinational; visiting General Practitioners, hospital consultants, retail and hospital pharmacists. I have 15 years NHS experience as a registered Biomedical Scientist specialising in Haematology and Blood Transfusion.

Hi, I’m Lyn. I am married to John and have three children and 4 grandchildren. I live in Northallerton and worked at the Friarage Hospital for 21 years. My interests and hobbies include spending time with my grandchildren and supporting them in all their many and varied activities, cake decorating, genealogy and reading historical novels, particularly the Plantagenet and Tudor period. I am a member of Northallerton Rotary Club supporting its projects in Nepal. I joined the Board of Trustees for the Friends of the Friarage in October 2015 and am responsible for arranging Events and helping with Fund Raising.

Jenn started her career in South Yorkshire as a research scientist working on biochemical methods to study motor neurone disease. She then moved to Liverpool to work at the University of Liverpool. Returning to Yorkshire in 2019, Jenn started working for the Motor Neurone Disease Association as their regional fundraiser helping support fundraisers and volunteers at local branches and groups across the region. In 2023 she moved to Catterick Village and gave birth to her son at the Friarage in July. She is looking forward to supporting fundraising campaigns and working with volunteers at the charity. 

I had both my children at the Friarage Hospital and I have visited with many sporting injuries and have always received excellent care.
 
I currently work as an Account Manager but previously I was a Director at Lewis & Cooper in Northallerton. 

My hobbies outside of work are playing hockey, running, biking, walking and hiking - to name a few! I’m really looking forward to my role as a trustee of Friends of the Friarage. 

Originally from Leeds, Carri has previously lived in Sydney, Australia and more recently in Brighton but has now settled back home in Yorkshire to be closer to family and bring her two young children up in the outdoors and fresh country air!

Carri joins us with experience in many areas of design and publishing and is proud to say she has seen a fair bit of the world too - some of her achievements include having trekked across the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the Himalayas in India and Nepal plus climbing to Everest Base Camp and crossing 22 towers of the Great Wall of China.

We are pleased to welcome Carri to the team at FOTF and Carri is excited to be working for our charity and putting her experience to good use. In her spare time Carri also helps out as a member of the committee at a local charity pre-school her children attend. 

One motto Carri lives by? “Be yourself - everyone else is taken!”

We are currently looking to recruit a number of new Trustees to sit on the Board and help oversee the general running of the charity. We are keen to broaden the experience and skill set of our Board members and are looking to attract people of all ages and backgrounds to help us gain new perspectives and ideas.

In addition, we are always looking for new Volunteers to join our team and support us in many areas, from working in our hospital shop, to helping out at fundraising events.

No matter what your age or experience, please do get in touch if you are interested in becoming either a Trustee or Volunteer and we would be happy to discuss how you can help us and bring your skills and knowledge to our wonderful charity.
