Fay Satherley
"I very recently joined Care & Repair as a Trustee as their mission, vision and values resonated strongly with me, and I really wanted to help champion the housing needs of older people and to help to influence better housing, health, and services for those living in housing conditions which can so often fail to meet their needs.

The work of Care & Repair really makes a difference, and I'm really excited by their varied innovative approaches to supporting older people, their pioneering projects, and new areas of work to deliver improved, coordinated services."
