DIANA SHERIDAN
As President of Chertsey Rotary 2021 -2022, the aim is to build on the good work of past Presidents & fellow Rotarians. Living & working (A&SP Hospitals) locally in Chertsey for me means supporting our community recovering from the impact of COVID19 over the past year, via direct involvement (e.g. helping the Chertsey clean-up of the Meads & Gogmore Park), following ethos of ‘Service before Self’. Events such as Black Cherry Fair, the Christmas Fair & Santa Sleigh collections generating funds for local charities (e.g. White Lodge, Orchard Dementia Centre, Runnymede FoodBank & HomeStart), as well as those further away (SandDams, Royal Marsden, ShelterBox). In addition, the focus will be on supporting those (re)starting careers working in partnership with schools/colleges & Job Centres, also using our own professional experience, as well as developing other support projects. I look forward to meeting fellow Chertsey residents over the coming year.
