Helpline developments
June 2008
We are delighted to welcome Angie Brown as our new Helpline and Support Manager. She comes from ChildLine where she spent 16 years, leaving as the Senior ChildLine Service Manager at the London 24 hour helpline service for children and young people. The development of the dystonia Helpline is her first priority and recruitment of a Helpline Officer following Jessica Spall’s and Rachael Underhill’s departure is underway at the moment. She will then concentrate on developing the One-to-One peer support service ensuring that the service offered is a safe and effective way for all concerned. Later, in September, Angie will take forward the training and induction of the Helpline volunteers.
