Debbie’s Blog #1 – First Impressions
Hello! I’m writing this after my first 4 days as the new CEO at YMCA Humber. I was really keen to come back to the charity sector where my heart truly lies, and my first four days have not disappointed. It’s been an action-packed start, a pace I’ll look to continue, and I’ve loved hearing about the work that we’re doing. The team at YMCA Humber have given me a warm welcome and I’m hugely grateful for that.
