Harry’s HAT is delighted to announce the appointment of Teri Kearsey as their new Chair of Trustees.
Teri has over 15 years marketing knowledge and has experience across technology, healthcare and charity sectors. Alongside volunteering, she has been working in the voluntary sector for over 5 years and during that time helped to support hundreds of charities.
Teri replaces Lucy Mu, who stepped down from Harry’s HAT board of Trustees on 18th October 2020 after serving as Chair since the charity was founded in 2018. During her time as Chair, Lucy supported the charity though its registration with the Charity Commission and subsequent fundraising activities raising over £50,000.
Teri Kearsey said “I am honoured to be appointed as the new Chair of the Board of Trustees of Harry’s HAT. Hydrocephalus (the abnormal build-up of fluid on the brain) affects 1 in 1000 babies born in the UK and Harry’s HAT is the only UK charity to focus solely on this condition and its impact. I am excited to be taking on the responsibility of leading the volunteer led organisation as it works hard to raise awareness and fund research to find a cure for this brain condition.”
Caroline Thwaites, Founder of the charity and Harry’s Mum said “ We are absolutely delighted that Teri has taken on this role. She has been a valued and active member of our Board of Trustees since 2019. Teri has tremendous skills and charity experience which will be instrumental in helping us as we continue to grow. I would also like to thank Lucy who has chaired Harry’s HAT since our inception in 2018. Lucy’s leadership helped bring the organisation to life and we are delighted and thankful that she is going to remain with us a volunteer.
