The High Sheriff attended the AGM of HOPE in the Royal Hotel Ross-on-Wye. The Right Worshipful Mayor of Gloucester and the Mayor of Ross-on-Wye also attended. There were some excellent, vibrant and amusing presentations on the work of the Youth Teams of this buzzing Charity. HOPE exists to help those who have a terminally ill adult in their family with the advice, comfort, reassurance, counselling and support young need during such a traumatic event. It is well worth visiting their website for a fuller explanation of their aims and achievements. I was humbled to be asked to present the Diana Award to some of the Hereford Youth Team. I hope they will all come and share a BBQ in the summer. http://www.hopesupport.org.uk
