Commenting on her appointment, Debbie said:

'I was delighted to be invited to join the Board at such an exciting time in the organisation’s development.  With health and statutory social care services facing huge challenges, there are great opportunities for a forward-thinking organisation like Staywell to really progress and expand what it does.  The commitment of the staff and leaders of the organisation to “making life a greater life” is truly inspiring.’
