At the recent AGM,  Martin Redshaw retired as RAD's Chairperson after six years service. Martin has been a Trustee of RAD for the past 19 years and will be greatly missed. Thank you to Martin for his past contribution and all his hard work. We would also like to thank David Spayne and Lesley Reeves Costi who have stepped down as Trustees after their second, three year term. We give a warm welcome to our new Chairperson, Roger Beeson - one of Britain's most experienced and respected BSL/English interpreters. We also welcome Tony Sheill as Vice Chair - a senior manager at Essex Adult Health and Community Wellbeing, and four new Trustees - Robert Adam, Martin Glover, Abdi Gas and Toby Burton.
