Kitsa Efthymiadis
Trustee and Chair of Springhill Hospice’s (Services) Ltd Board
Having been born, educated and trained in Manchester, I moved to Rochdale in the 1980s to join Molesworths as a newly qualified Solicitor. I am still there, and now a Partner, but there is more to life than property work.
By the 1990s I had broadened my horizons by becoming a Non-Executive Director, at Rochdale Healthcare NHS Trust (working with Robert Clegg) and subsequently at Pennine Care NHS Trust, Then In 2010 I changed direction and became a Governor at Rochdale Sixth Form College, which I still very much enjoy.
I applied to become a Trustee at Springhill purely because I had heard so many wonderful things about the Hospice from Robert and others, and wanted to be part of it. I was delighted to be appointed in 2015, and have loved every minute since, thanks mainly to the staff and volunteers who make the Hospice such a phenomenal place. I only hope that I can continue to be of use as Springhill continues to move onwards and upwards.
