On 26 June, we will say goodbye to Debbie, our Digital Communications Officer, who is taking early retirement after seven and a half years with Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire.
Throughout her time with us, Debbie has helped shape our digital communications, to engage with local people, share important information, and raise awareness of our work across the community. Her dedication, creativity, and commitment has helped us make positive impact, and she will be greatly missed by colleagues, volunteers, and partners alike.
Reflecting on her time with Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire, Debbie said:
“After 7.5 wonderful years, the time has come for me to begin a new chapter and take early retirement. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated and passionate team, and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together for our community.”
Debbie also expressed her heartfelt thanks to her colleagues, the Board of Directors, and our volunteers, whose dedication and commitment have helped make a real difference to local people.
“The relationships, experiences, and memories I have gained during my time here will stay with me for years to come. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey. I leave with immense gratitude, great memories, and excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. While I’m retiring from work, I’m certainly not retiring from life—the next adventure starts now!”
We would like to thank Debbie for her outstanding contribution and wish her a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.
We are also delighted to welcome Joanna Harvey, who has now taken over the role of Digital Communications Officer. Debbie said,
“I know she will do a fantastic job, and I wish her every success as she leads the next stage of this important work.”
We look forward to Joanna building on Debbie’s excellent work and supporting our communications in the years ahead.
