Melissa – or Mel, as we all know her – has been part of the St Mary’s Hospice family for over 11 years. She first joined as a Fundraiser and is now our Events Manager, overseeing all of our in-house events as well as our incredible international treks.
One of Mel’s biggest achievements has been growing our Walk to Remember. What started as a small community walk has flourished under her leadership into a major event with more than 1,000 participants, raising over £130,000 for the hospice.
Alongside her fundraising work, Mel also gives her time as a volunteer Family and Bereavement Support Worker. She is passionate about helping others and has been a great source of comfort and strength to many of her clients.
When she’s not working or volunteering, Mel enjoys crocheting, taking long walks with her dog, and getting stuck into a good book.
