25.01.2022 Today we farewelled one of our dearest volunteers, Kim Markham who was our receptionist and admin guru. Kim passed away 2 weeks ago. She was a die hard Tigers supporter, strong, kind hearted, full of life and wonderful individual. She had a hearty laugh, huge smile and witty sense of humour to match it. Nothing was too much for Kim and she was always willing to help anyone and with everything she could at the centre. Rest in peace and love Kim, you will be missed.
